South Dakotan Joins Thune at Hearing to Highlight Need to Build Strong and Resilient Broadband
Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021
Tweet - "Today's vote summed up: Republicans believe that states have the authority *under the Constitution* to conduct elections & decisions are better when they're made closer to the people. Dems believe Washington bureaucrats are better positioned to make decisions."
Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021
Tweet - "Once you pull back the curtain on Ds' "election integrity" bill, it's nothing more than a move to help Ds win elections. It would force states to turn over elections to D.C. bureaucrats. I don't think Speaker Pelosi & Sen. Schumer should be governing South Dakota's elections."
Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021
Tweet - "If Ds were to get their election bill passed, current senators' campaigns could receive more than $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars. Yes, this bill would use Americans' hard-earned money to fund yard signs & attack ads. GOP will reject."
Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021
Tweet - "There are so many reasons to vote against Ds' election bill that it's hard to name them all. This bill would not only loosen voter fraud protections, it would direct billions of taxpayer dollars to political campaigns. The speaker herself admitted it would help Ds win elections."
Sen. John Thune
June 22, 2021
Tweet - "Here's how Politico characterized Ds' election bill this am: "It's always been a messaging bill -- a check-the-box move allowing party leaders to tell the left they tried." That's not a GOP politician saying it. That's from a paper that covers Capitol Hill day in and day out."
Sen. John Thune

Tweet - "S.D. ranchers deserve to know if cattle markets have been manipulated by meatpackers. I'm glad @SenateAgGOP has agreed to my request & decided to hold a hearing on this important issue. I look forward to using this hearing to help get the answers our ranchers & consumers deserve."
Sen. John Thune
June 17, 2021
Following Thune Request, Senate Agriculture Committee to Hold Hearing on Potential Cattle Market Manipulation

Sen. John Thune
June 16, 2021
Senators' Statement on Infrastructure
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
June 16, 2021

Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
June 15, 2021
Tweet - "It doesn't take an economic expert to see what this chart clearly shows. Since Ds have taken control in Washington, the price of everything from bikes to bacon has shot up. Ds need to take a hard look at what their policies are doing to the economy & stop forcing wild spending."
Sen. John Thune
