Often it feels like political decisions are made by people who live thousands of miles away and who are totally disconnected from our real lives. The reality is that a lot of politics happens locally by people who are living in our communities. However often only 10% or less of voters participate in local elections. The elections that often can have some of the biggest impacts to our daily lives.

This page is the statewide organization that will create and organize groups open only to people who live or vote in each individual district of South Dakota. We will organize opportunities for residents to ask questions of their representatives or prospective representatives as much as we can.

We will also encourage local voters to get out and vote for local elections by adding events with the election date and location(s).
