What is your biggest priority for the 2026 South Dakota Legislative Session?

This session I will be looking at large projects being able to keep their property taxes in the county they are built in instead of flowing back to the general fund. Also, we need to get a handle on Deadwood sports betting rogue betting apps that are doing business in our state. Just this past week I received a flyer from an app called “Underdog”. The flyer claimed to have spreads and money-lines available in South Dakota. We need to get Deadwood the ability to have an app available to South Dakotans that is limited to legal sports betting. This is not an expansion of gambling, but more like the Amazon sales tax issue. It’s happening and we need to create a level playing field.
