South Dakota is a state filled with natural beauty, and spending time on our public lands is an important part of our heritage. Growing up on my family’s farm near Houghton and the Sand Lake Wildlife Refuge in the northeast part of the state, I understand that recreational activities, like hunting and fishing, are South Dakota traditions and vital economic opportunities. Our culture of recreation and outdoors activities contributes greatly to our high quality of life. As a member of the House Committee on Natural Resources, I work to ensure our public lands are managed in a way to promote public enjoyment and to conserve resources of generations to come.
