It's official! Nominating petitions have been filed, and I鈥檓 running for SD State House of Representatives in District 13.

Last election cycle, in 2024, as a first-time candidate and as the only Democrat running in District 13, we took on the status quo and came closer than many thought possible, earning 42% of the vote and winning in Minnehaha County. We built real momentum and showed that District 13 is ready for more balanced, bipartisan, responsive & reasonable representation.

Thank you to everyone who supported this effort before. Your encouragement, your time, and your belief in this campaign mean everything to me.

If you'd like to be an early contributor and help kickstart the 2026 campaign, as we shift gears from a senate race to a house race, you can donate here: https://tinyurl.com/aliforsd

Let's go! 馃憡

Hi folks, as part of preparation for 2026 elections, I'm trying to come up with short, catchy slogans Dems can consider. Republicans are great at this (just consider ALL of their catchy phrases out there - MAGA being the most well known but there are literally dozens) but we have very few. Looking for local ones but also national ones. Please either message me or just post any ideas in the comments. I'll start with one in the comments!

Great turnout at LWV Legislative Coffee today. Thank you District 15 representatives for attending. It is very unfortunate my District 13 representatives elected to not attend. We had SO many questions for them. I've emailed them and asked that they consider attending next Saturday instead. Feel free to email them as well: Sue Peterson, John Hughes and Jack Kolbeck.
