Justin Lena for House

I am running as a Democrat for the SD House District 34 to bring balance back to South Dakota government.

I stand by basic Democratic values:

• Renewing our commitment to public education. Better-educated people get better paying jobs. We can preserve the American ladder of opportunity for South Dakota's kids by fully funding our schools.
• Focusing more on public policy and less on legislating morality. Individual freedoms are threatened when government oversteps its authority.
• Helping small business. I believe family farms and ranches drive Western South Dakota's economy. We can help small business by finding solutions to our health care crisis.
• Ending one-party rule. Whenever one group has power too long, government gets out of balance; privilege becomes a substitute for sound reason and common sense.
• Fostering individual freedom. As Chairman of the Pennington County Democrats I?ve been an outspoken advocate of accountability, fairness and individual freedom.

Suzy Dennis for House

Suzy Dennis is running for the other House seat in 34. She, like Justin, is committed to creating a new dialogue in Pierre, and an end to dominating one-party rule. Suzy is a clinical supervisor for adolescent chemical dependency. She will strive to support strong, stable, and healthy families.
