Who better to have in elective office than small-business owners who know firsthand what it takes to employ South Dakotans and what governmental barriers there are to job creation.
But small-business owners seldom get the time to run for office, because they are extremely busy running their enterprises and providing livelihoods for thousands of South Dakotans.
Small-business owners can still influence the legislative process, however, because they are the most trusted and respected group of people in America – and they are educators within their communities.
