Gary L Cammack

Fiscal strength, common sense, South Dakota values

Gary L. Cammack (born June 9, 1953) is a fourth-generation rancher from Union Center, South Dakota, and the founder of Cammack Ranch Supply, a cornerstone business of the community. He served in the South Dakota House of Representatives (2013–2015), then the State Senate (2015–2023) — rising to Senate Majority Leader and President Pro Tempore. Inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame in 2021, he is a Leopold Conservation Award recipient and a tireless advocate for rural SD. He is running again for the House seat he first held in 2013.

Our Rationale

Why they’re
Sensible

Gary Cammack brings a decade of top-tier legislative leadership — including Senate Majority Leader — back to the District 29 House race. A fourth-generation rancher, small-business owner, and conservation steward, he has consistently championed fiscal discipline (AAA credit rating, 100% pension funding), agriculture, and rural infrastructure. Cammack's breadth of experience in both chambers gives him unusual capacity to move legislation that matters to western South Dakota's ranching communities.
