100,000 miles in 16 months. Thousands of face to face conversations with ordinary South Dakotans hearing about the issues that matter to you.

All summer we talked about the price of fuel and now we’re watching as the economy seems to be falling down around us. We have to be able to do better than this.

I know we can. We need a Senator who can contribute South Dakota’s values and character to the debate in Washington about the issues facing our nation today. We need to find a way to deliver to our grandchildren a better America than the last two decades of business as usual in the Capitol have produced.

I have specific proposals for real solutions to the challenges facing America today. Please take a few minutes to read my thoughts on each of these issues:

Energy Independence

Today’s Economy

Healthcare Reform

Taxes

Education

Guns

Border Security
