Friend,

We have just a few weeks until voting starts here in South Dakota.

I'm running as an independent to take on Mike Rounds this November because South Dakotans deserve a senator who answers to them, not to party bosses in Washington.

I spent 26 years in uniform. I enlisted in the Navy out of high school, then served nineteen years as a JAG Corps officer in the Air Force and later worked as a National Park Service ranger until Elon Musk's DOGE started gutting the Park Service and I decided I couldn't stay on the sidelines anymore.

Mike Rounds has been a gutless rubber stamp for his party while medical debt, housing costs, and inflation squeeze working families across this state. He votes with his party, not with South Dakota.

And here's why the next few weeks decide everything: the latest Impact Research poll has this race tied, 44% to 44%. The voters who settle it are the ones still making up their minds — and before they head to the polls, we need every one of them to hear that there's a real alternative on this ballot. That takes resources we don't have without your help.

Can you chip in today to help us reach voters before voting begins?

The ballots go out soon. Let's make sure not one South Dakotan fills one out without knowing they had a choice.

Thank you,
Brian Bengs
