Dear Friends,

 

It is my pleasure to ask for your support and vote for Mike Derby for State Representative in District 34.

 

I have known Mike for over 20 years, since the time we served together in Pierre, I was in the State Senate and he was a State Representative serving on the Appropriations Committee. Mike has been a tireless advocate over the years for the Black Hills regarding Ellsworth Air Force Base, tourism and economic development.

 

His Appropriations experience will prove to be a big advantage for the State of South Dakota as we navigate through these challenging times. I like Mike and I hope you do also. Please join me in supporting him.

"Knowing Mike Derby for over 30 years has been an honor. I wish I lived in District 34 so I could vote for him. Citizens in District 34 need to know of Mike’s heart for his community. He has a history of giving to the community in a vast number of organizations he has been actively involved with over the decades. Mike is a man of great character, who will represent District 34 once again with integrity and honor, fairness, and passion. VOTE for Mike Derby."
