June 17, 2020 Tweet - "#COVID19 has highlighted for many Americans something South Dakotans have long known: wide-open space is good for the soul (and your savings).

June 17, 2020 Tweet - "I sincerely hope Dems work w/ GOP to make this a moment of ACTION instead of a moment of rhetoric. @SenatorTimScott 's #JUSTICEact is based in solutions that have been advocated for on both sides of the aisle.
