KAREN SPRINGER
Candidate for District 18, SD State House of Representatives
Integrity. Service. Empathy.
I served in the United States Air Force for 22 years, and lived its core values of “Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.” I also learned the importance of empathy, the knowing and understanding that my experiences can differ greatly from those of the people I’m working with. We all came from different backgrounds and cultures, and we worked together for a common mission.
As your next state representative, this is what I will bring to the office. I will lead with integrity, put service to my constituents above my personal needs, and understand how the issues will impact each resident of District 18.
If you want someone who listens to you and treats you like your opinion matters, I’d be honored to earn your vote.
