Land Use, Property Rights, and Eminent Domain
“Your land is your land.”
Lock eminent-domain protections into the South Dakota Constitution. No private gain via government taking. Stand explicitly against the Summit Carbon CO2 pipeline model.
Where I stand
- Pass HJR 5001 (2026), the constitutional amendment that requires a declaration of necessity and clarifies public use for eminent domain takings. The House passed it 62-5 on January 27, 2026. South Dakota voters decide it on the November 2026 ballot.
- Ban deceptive easement practices and end the 'common carrier' workaround.
- Restrict warrantless drone surveillance of private property.
- Stand with landowners against the Summit Carbon CO2 pipeline model.
