That higher ground. Thank you. Thank you, representative. Governor, you now have one minute to visit with the vote ares of south dakota. Thank you. Across the country, pool are recognizing that good things are happening in south dakota. It was called the best run state in america. Cnbc called us the number one state for business. Our taxes are among the lowest in the nation. In the political year, its sometimes hard to remember the good news but it us true. Our unemployment restaurant is second loness the nation. Our student tennessee scores are above test scores are above the National Average weapon babied our bug. Our communes are among the safeest in our nation and our population and economy are growing faster than the nation. I know that government doesnt deserve credit for most of this, but i worked hard to help south dakota families and businesses achieve success. Id be grotful for the opportunity to grotful for the opportunity to serve as your governor again. Mike you have one m
Tax cuts for millionaires and special interest does not create jobs. Growing the middle class does. If our economy had just kept pace with the rest of the country over the last three years, our economy would be 4 billion a year bigger. That is 4 billion tickets spent in local communities and businesses. It is a tax base to Fund Infrastructure while reducing taxes. Think about what that means to you. A better Neighborhood School for your children. College that is more affordable. Greater Economic Security in your retirement. The failure of the last four years is far too real for far too many. The average family has seen their real income declined by 3000. I will put politics aside and focus on what works. I do not care if an idea is a democrat or republican idea, just that it gets results. Along with ensuring a fair shot for everyone, i want to change the tone. Governor walkers approach, in his own words, has been to divide and conquer. That is not the wisconsin way. We have to remember

We have not moved the needle enough. It is time for wisconsin to join the rest of the country and realize that this is something that is important. This is one of those tragic issues. I remember, years ago, when i was first elected, one of the most heartwrenching cases we had to talk about was a family from our area that had lost a son because of a multiple, repeat offender. The problems are not just the numbers, it is the number of people who have been out multiple times committing drunk driving.

I think this is an issue that republicans and democrats can come together and work on. For me, it is one of those where i will work with Law Enforcement and the police.
