Happy first (!) birthday to my adorable niece, Huntley Rose! 💕🎂✨

I’m Jamie Smith, and I’m running to be Governor for SD. As Governor: ✅ I will focus on SD, not my national political image. ✅ I will honor the people’s vote on recreational marijuana. ✅ I will seek unity over partisan division. Will you retweet to get me to 10,000 followers?

Rep. Nelson sharing his experience as a young queer person in South Dakota, and being the first out gay man on the House Floor, is profound. We should not have to hide who we are. Tune in via sd.net to follow along now!
