Politician
Nov. 28, 2019
The Argus Leader - "Shop Small" in South Dakota
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 31, 2019
Tweet - "There's nothing scarier this #SpookySeason than some of the radical ideas coming out of the Democratic Party -- ideas to increase the size of government and give Washington more control over your health care, personal freedoms, paycheck, and much more. Very spooky stuff."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 21, 2019
Tweet - "Republicans have implemented policies to encourage businesses to hire American workers -- resulting in the creation of over 500,000 manufacturing jobs. But some SD manufacturers are struggling to find workers to fill these jobs -- that's where tech colleges can play a role."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 16, 2019
Tweet - "Very interesting meeting with Kelvin Adee from Adee Honey Farms. Like many business leaders I speak with, one of his main challenges is finding workers. I also snuck in my story about spilling a bucket of honey in the trunk of my dad's car not an easy mess to clean up."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 4, 2019
Tweet - "Toured the manufacturing facility for @TrailKingInd this afternoon. Their workers turn out a beautiful product -- very cool to see. Thanks for having me."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 4, 2019
Tweet - "Attended the groundbreaking for @DakotaWesleyan's new School of Business Innovation and Leadership today. I had the chance to catch up with and meet students, alumni, and staff, all of whom were proud to see their school growing. Go Tigers! #BleedBlue"
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 3, 2019
Tweet - ".@LakeAreaTech is helping prepare students for today's workforce -- with programs from robotics to financial services. I often hear from businesses that have great-paying jobs, but aren't able to find skilled workers to fill them. We should encourage these types of programs."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 2, 2019
Tweet - ".@1MillionCupsSF is an event that brings people together over a cup of coffee & focuses on building community. There have been companies started, job offers given, and many ideas shared through these events. Had a great time speaking to everyone and answering their questions."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 2, 2019
Tweet - "Really impressed by my experience at @Showplace_Cab. Their facilities are top-notch, & even more importantly, their workers are skilled & hardworking. As an #ESOP, employees have a real stake in the company's success, & their dedication shows it. Proud to have them in SD."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 1, 2019
Tweet - "Thanks to the @VRCmetal team for showing me around their new facility & sharing more info about their products & technologies. Their work has the potential to impact areas from space travel to medical devices. Proud to see SD at the leading edge of this industry. #manufacturing"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2019
Tweet - "Had a great tour of Maguire Iron, Inc., in Sioux Falls where I was able to meet some of their highly skilled workers and see their innovative facility firsthand. We should work to put more programs in place that encourage young students to consider skilled trades."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 24, 2019
Tweet - "For the 17th month in a row, there are more open jobs than unemployed workers. Great news, but it can present challenges for employers looking to hire. Secretary of @USDOL nominee Eugene Scalia & I discussed what DOL can do to help equip workers for today's job market."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2019
Tweet - "We need a privacy law that allows consumers to consent to how their information is being collected and used."
Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "Sat down with representatives from the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce this week to talk about everything from 5G to what our strong economy means for workforce availability. Thankful for the work they do."

Tweet - "#GOPTaxCuts put more money in the pockets of American families & helped spur economic growth, but there's still work left to do. @SenatorCardin & I introduced a bill that would make it easier for certain small businesses to grow and create new jobs in their communities."
