From Petition Drive to City Partnership.
Vince has been endorsed by Let Sioux Falls Vote.
Let Sioux Falls Vote didn't endorse me after one meeting. They watched me show up to their Community Conversations over months. They saw me listen. They saw me engage when the room got hard. And what stuck with them most was simple: I actually understand why they exist.
Here is the full statement from Let Sioux Falls Vote:
"After months of listening, organizing, gathering signatures, attending meetings, asking questions, and pushing for public participation in decisions that impact our city, Let Sioux Falls Vote is proud to endorse Vince Danh for City Council At-Large. This endorsement comes down to one thing: who is willing to listen to the people of Sioux Falls and who is willing to fight for transparent, accountable government."
Who they are.
Let Sioux Falls Vote was born when the city voted to rezone land for a hyperscale data center, hundreds of neighbors showed up to City Hall. They testified. They asked questions. They wanted a voice in a decision that would shape Sioux Falls for decades.
I was there that night. I watched what happened. It was bigger than one zoning vote. It was a signal that there was a gap between City Hall and regular people.
A group of citizens decided to close it. They organized. They gathered petition signatures. Then they did something remarkable. Instead of stopping there, they engaged the city council. They asked for listening sessions. Real conversations in low-stakes spaces where people could actually hear each other.
The city listened. Now the city helps sponsor their Community Conversations. What started as a petition drive became an established movement. The city itself recognizes it as essential infrastructure for how decisions should be made.
How we got here.
I showed up to their Community Conversations. I sat in those rooms with councilors and residents. I listened. I answered hard questions.
The more I was there, the more I understood what they had built. Not opposition. A model for how government should work. How it should listen before it decides.
Why this matters.
Let Sioux Falls Vote's story is proof of concept for what I'm running to build.
They proved that more voices mean better decisions. That listening is the foundation of trust. That government works best when it happens with people, not for them.
That's Equal Opportunity. Bringing City Hall to neighborhoods instead of asking neighborhoods to come downtown. That's Vibrant Community. Residents having a real voice in decisions that shape their lives. That's Responsible Growth. Decisions made transparently, with genuine public participation.
I've spent my whole life translating between people and systems that weren't built for them. My parents didn't speak English when they came here. I grew up explaining leases and paperwork, making systems make sense. That's not just my background. That's my skill.
This city needs that right now. Let Sioux Falls Vote's endorsement tells me they believe I can take what they've built and make it the standard at City Hall, not the exception.
Help us finish strong by walking with us, share this post, or give what you can.
It's always been our city, and now is our moment.
Let's rise together. ☀️
