Whether in a blizzard or a natural disaster, South Dakotans know how to step up and care for their neighbors in a time of need!

The legislature sustained all 5 of my VETOES.
I VETOED these bills because they were not right for South Dakota. I am glad that the legislators agreed that these pieces of legislation are unfit for our state.

Today, I VETOED HB 1209.
South Dakota has a safe and responsible hemp program that we have worked many years to implement properly.
This bill would jeopardize the effectiveness and safety of our program by classifying marijuana as hemp.

South Dakota will continue to strengthen families and promote life.
The gift of a child too often comes with financial burden. Mothers should never have to take that on alone. I signed SB 75 to guarantee that both the mother and the father equally pay for pregnancy expenses.

Tax dollars should not be revenue streams for evil foreign governments.

I signed the legislature's tax holiday. Some help, albeit temporary, for our people is better than none.
Public sentiment shows that South Dakotans want a permanent tax cut. The legislature has failed in that regard, but I will continue to work with them to do what is right.

I appreciate the work of my BFM Commissioner Jim Terwilliger and the BFM team on this budget.
And I appreciate the legislature for recognizing that it should fund my administration’s priorities to maximize freedom and liberty for the people of the state.
