Fearless Defender of our Future
Bold Protector of Children, Freedom, and Property Rights
Mamabear, Savvy Business Woman, & Servant-Hearted Leader
Senate District 32 needs a new kind of leader—one that is servant-hearted with a proven track record.
Why Vote for Karen?
South Dakota is the best place to live, work, and raise a family—Karen is passionate about keeping it that way.
Karen’s roots run deep in South Dakota. Born and raised in the Black Hills, she is the oldest of six children, which immersed her in a leadership position at a young age.
She’s a proud Cobbler and graduate of Rapid City Central High School. She earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in chemistry from the South Dakota School of Mines.
Karen’s Five Pillars of Principles
Children & Education
Freedom & Liberties
I believe that the Constitution calls for limited government and our Bill of Rights guarantees protection of our freedoms. These freedoms seem to be slipping away slowly and the government has been encroaching on our liberties while we watch them evaporate.
Faith & Life
I believe our rights as stated in the Constitution come from our Creator, not the government. I believe that the Lord above is my guide in all decisions.
Family & Duty
I believe in the nuclear family, which has been a cornerstone of our country, but it is now under attack. We need to help families re-establish their role in developing and raising children to become positive and productive citizens.
Property Rights & Taxes
I believe that big government has no business taking away our personal property rights in the name of eminent domain as evidenced by the unlawful passage of recent bill SB201. The government has no business telling South Dakotans what to do with their personal property by a for-profit, out of state, private company.
