Nervous Is Fine. Show Up Anyway.
Come As You Are
On April 19, we're hosting our first Rise Together Volunteer Training Day. Here's why I think it might be the most important thing you do for this city before June 2nd.
Most people who show up to volunteer for a campaign have never done it before.
They don't have a background in politics. They haven't knocked on a hundred doors. They just care — about their neighborhood, their kids' school, the cost of living, or the feeling that nobody at City Hall is quite listening the way they should be.
That's enough. That's more than enough.
This Is a People-First Campaign
We are not running this on big endorsements or TV ads or political machinery. We are running this neighbor to neighbor. One conversation at a time. One porch, one driveway, one block at a time.
That's not a limitation. That's our strength.
The most powerful thing that can happen before someone casts a vote is a real conversation with a real person they trust. Not a mailer. Not a social media post. A neighbor — someone who shops at the same grocery store, who cares about the same things — saying, I believe in this, and I think you should too.
That's you. That's what we're building.
I Know This Can Feel Like a Lot
The idea of knocking on a stranger's door and talking about city council can feel uncomfortable. Maybe even a little terrifying.
What if they push back? What if I say the wrong thing?
Those feelings are normal. Every volunteer I've ever met has felt them. I felt them the first time I stood up and spoke at a city council meeting.
Here's what I've learned: it gets easier the moment you start. And most people aren't looking for a debate. They're looking for a neighbor who cares enough to show up. That's something every one of you already knows how to do.
What to Expect on April 19
On Sunday, April 19, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, we're gathering at the Downtown Sioux Falls Library for our Rise Together Volunteer Training Day.
Meet the team. You'll meet fellow volunteers and the people behind this campaign. This is a community, not a transaction.
Find what fits you. Knocking doors isn't the only way to help. We'll walk through all of it and help you find what works for your schedule and comfort level.
Train together. We'll do hands-on practice so you leave confident, not thrown in the deep end.
Then we go out. Volunteers will head out in small groups to canvass neighborhoods together. You won't be going alone.
Why This Matters Right Now
June 2nd is coming fast. In a local race like this one, the final weeks are everything.
The campaigns that win aren't always the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones with the most people who believe — and who are willing to show up and say so out loud. Every door we knock, every conversation we have, every neighbor who thinks yes, that's the Sioux Falls I want — that's a vote we earn together.
That's what this training day is really about.
Come Find Me
My parents moved to Sioux Falls in 1993 and built something in this city with little more than belief and hard work. What carried them was a community that showed up. Neighbors who said, you belong here.
I'm running to build the kind of city where that's true for every family. And I can't do it without you.
Come find me on April 19. Let's meet. Let's train. Let's go do something real together.
It's always been our city, and now is our moment.
Let's rise together. ☀️
