What is your biggest priority for the 2025 South Dakota Legislative Session?

As a grassroots representative, small business owner and hairstylist, there are many areas in which I feel passionate. First because it’s my field, I would love to see some positive reorganization and reform happening in the Cosmetology Commission, which includes a lot on safety and health of the public. I’m also very passionate about the recognition of mental heath issues and hopefully coming up with new rapport on strategies that have positive influences and can happen earlier for the families in the process of developing decline.
