Three years of applying. Three years of refining, listening, and coming back. I'm honored to share that I've been selected as a TEDxSiouxFalls 2026 speaker — and the talk I get to give is the most personal thing I've ever put into words.

Yesterday I sat on a panel and helped teach others how to run for office. I've been through Leadership South Dakota, Leadership Sioux Falls, and Leaders of Tomorrow. But the credential was never the point — the showing up was.

Run for Something endorsed us. No outside funding. No outside agenda. Just a signal that what we're building in Sioux Falls is real.

A mentor once told me to practice the job you want before you have it. That's what this campaign season has been about — showing up in the rooms where decisions get made, listening, and working to close the gap between City Hall and your kitchen table.

We're within 90 days of June 2nd — and that means it's time to get signs in yards, on fences, and across every corner of this city. Here's how you can help us show Sioux Falls what this movement looks like.

Two hundred signatures. Dozens of conversations. Porches, driveways, and doors across Sioux Falls. We're officially on the ballot — and we didn't get here alone. A thank you to everyone who made it happen, and what comes next.

Meet and greets, public forums, listening sessions, community gatherings — here's your full look at our events calendar and how to get involved with the Vince for Sioux Falls campaign between now and the June 2nd election.

Thousands of Sioux Falls neighbors line the streets for the St. Patrick's Day Parade every year. This March 14th, we want you on the inside of the ropes with us. Walk, ride, or just show up — there's a spot for you. Read more →

When my dad arrived in Sioux Falls in 1993, he did what so many newcomers did — he went to work at Smithfield. He worked those lines so our family could eventually stand on its own feet. That story isn't unique. And that's exactly why this moment matters.

Health. Happiness. Prosperity — not just for your household, but for your neighbors, your community, your city. That's the wish of Lunar New Year. And honestly? It's the same wish behind everything I'm running on. Chúc Mừng Năm Mới, Sioux Falls.

Chef Marcela and my brother Tony don't cook from the same tradition. But on February 9, they built a menu you won't find anywhere else — Vietnamese technique meets Latin soul. What happened that night felt like a proof of concept for everything I believe about Sioux Falls.

The decisions that shape your daily life — your safety, your neighborhood, your opportunity — aren't decided hundreds of miles away. They're decided right here at City Hall. And that's where your voice matters most.

In 2016, bridge construction near my parents' restaurant nearly put them out of business. Nobody really talked to them about it — decisions were made about them, without them. I heard that same fear from neighbors this week at the data center vote. Same fear. Different project.

The arts aren't optional. They're how neighborhoods come alive. They're how we connect across difference. They're how a kid from an immigrant family finds their place in a city. Sioux Falls is building a 10-year arts and culture plan — and your voice belongs in it.

Walking the Parade of Lights route, I kept coming back to one question: what does this city look like for the kids watching from the sidewalk tonight? Do they grow up and stay? Do they feel like Sioux Falls has room for them? That's not abstract to me.
