Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I'm the son of a Holocaust survivor. Following WWII, Dad immigrated to the United States, married an American woman and spent his life working as a laborer. Dad had little more than a sixth grade education when he was taken to Auschwitz Concentration Camp. He was never able to go back to school, but growing up he taught me important lessons including the value and dignity of work. His mantra to me as a child was, "I want a better life for you." I continue to hear that refrain in my head today, and it's the main reason why I am running for the South Dakota State Legislature: Simply put, I want a better life for every South Dakotan, and for all our children.
