ICYMI: Here's our response to the Governor's State of the State Address.

Congratulations to Rep. David Anderson and Kevin Jensen who were elected as District 16 Representatives and to Jim Bolin our State Senator elect. Thanks to Ted Curry and Chad Skiles for running.

12 pies loaded in the car for our church's Election Day Soup and Pie. I'll spend Election Day as I always do working with my church family to serve 500 +. Thanks for the good luck wishes. VOTE ! It is your privilege and YOUR responsibility.

Stand Up for hard working teens. SD has NEVER had a different wage for ANYONE. Same job = same pay whatever your age!

The minimum wage is on the ballot in several states this year. South Dakota is the only state which is considering lowering it - as a result of Republicans in Pierre going against the will of the voters to pass a lower minimum wage for young workers just months after we passed an minimum wage increase in 2014.

Vote no on Referred Law 20, and keep the minimum wage the minimum wage for everyone!

Thanks to Dave for letting me put up signs in his bean field by driveway to Wynstone and a special thanks to the supporters on Suncoast Drive in McCook Lake. Looks like the whole neighborhood put up a Vote Tornberg sign! Every day counts in this campaign and there's still five to go!!

Voters in the northern parts of District 16 might be surprised to know about the buffalo herd grazing on a beautiful Nov day in the Wynstone neighborhood in southern Union Co. It's one more great place in District 16!

Thanks to Anna for helping to pass out LOTS of candy today in Alcester and Hudson. Trick or Treat 🎃🎃🎃

Thanks to Greg & Theresa for the sign at the far northwest corner of District 16 in Harrisburg and to Naomi along Hwy 115 by Worthing. 😊

Join us for lunch tomorrow at the Democratic Forum. Details follow:

Thanks to the "famous" Andrews Sisters from Beresford for their campaign help this weekend. Sat. we did door to door in Worthing and then passed out LOTS of candy at the "Trunk and Treat" held at the Elementary School. Sunday we enjoyed the Canton Transit Fundraiser Spaghetti Supper at the Canton Senior Citizen's Center. Two great communities in District 16.

One of my campaign staffers, Anna reminds you to VOTE EARLY. Just yesterday -Friday, Oct. 21- 4,912 South Dakotans voted early. There were 113 votes cast in District 16 alone (53 registered Democrats and 60 registered GOP). Each night I receive the info from the Secretary of State's office and see thousands who have already voted. You can ask for a ballot at the county courthouse and vote the same day or request one through the mail by going to the Sec. of State website.

Jefferson sign right off the I-29 exit heading into town. I'll be doing door to door in Jefferson all afternoon and evening on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Want a yard sign? Just ask!

Thanks to the Heeren's in west Akron for the signs along Hwy 48 and to the Mollets and Nesselhuf's in Burbank 🇺🇸

Ready to roll at the Augustana parade 🏈

Thanks to the Elk Point Fire Dept. for the hot dogs last night and their fire safety information for all the kids. Great event in another great District 16 community🚒 🚑 🚒

Invitations still stand to talk about Gear Up

Since 2005, the State of South Dakota has spent $62 million of the taxpayers' money on a program intended to gear-up American Indian kids to go to college. However, nobody in state government-or its army of consultants-can present ANY credible evidence of how many kids actually went to college because of the $62 million. Read what Bob Mercer has to say. We shouldn't be done with this discussion.

capjournal.com PIERRE – A year ago in September a lawyer representing Rick Melmer and Keith Moore sent a letter to me warning I shouldn’t lump his clients with Scott Westerhuis.

Thanks Berkley for your help and for letting us put up the signs in Worthing

Thanks Todd and Tracy for the signs in Dayton Township in the northern corner of District 16!

Putting up signs in Lincoln County along Hwy 11.

FINALLY, key South Dakota GOP leadership is stepping up and asking Trump to withdraw.

Some South Dakota Republicans are finally calling for Trump to withdraw. But what took so long? Why did they not denounce Trump long before this, due to his many racist, misogynistic, and generally outrageous statements?

D-Days in Vermillion line up. GO USD🏈

Ready to roll at the Elk Point Jefferson Homecoming parade! Go Huskies🏈

I am looking for more parade walkers!

Next Friday, Oct. 7th is the final District 16 Homecoming Parade, in Elk Point. The parade is at 1pm. We'll leave Beresford at noon. Please contact Ann (610-5360) if you would like to walk or ride the float and throw candy. Thanks for your support!

Beautiful afternoon for a parade at Dakota Valley's Homecoming!

I stand with the Governor to pass Medicaid Expansion in South Dakota.

Democrats will work together with the Governor to pass Medicaid expansion which will close the coverage gap for 55,000 South Dakotans, pump hundreds of millions into our economy and not cost the state a dime. The best way to make this happen is to elect Democrats!

"The diplomats said “none of us” will vote for Trump. While they said not all of them agreed with every decision made by Hillary Clinton, they said they all supported her candidacy.

“Because the stakes in this election are so high,” the letter said, “this is the first time many of us have publicly endorsed a candidate for President.”"
