Our Rationale

Why they’re
Sensible

Goodwin is a reliable conservative voice in the Black Hills delegation with a long track record of showing up for constituents. His 2026 property tax bill (HB1016) and his Farmers Union Service to Agriculture Award reflect a genuine commitment to affordability for working families and rural landowners. He has served as Majority Whip and brings institutional knowledge that few freshmen can match. Voters in Districts 30 looking for a steady, experienced hand should take a close look.
