Aug. 19, 2020
Tweet - "A while ago, my siblings & I spent a day cleaning out our childhood home. At the time, I didn't fully recognize how special it was to spend that time with my family walking down memory lane. Now, with the loss of my dad, I appreciate even more how meaningful that experience was."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 18, 2020
Tweet - "Today, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women winning their long-overdue right to vote. I always told my daughters they could do anything they dreamed of. I'm proud to live in a country where that's true. We owe so much to women who paved the way for equality. #19thAmendment"

Sen. John Thune
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "SCAM WARNING: If the @SDDOH contacts you about potential #COVID19 exposure, they will NEVER ask for credit card info or money. If you are asked for this info or asked to pay anything, it is a scam. It's sad to see scammers taking advantage of this crisis."
