Today I will tour areas of Brown County damaged by recent flooding. Flooding is difficult to deal with and I will continue to work hard to see that this area fully recovers.
Already during the August District Work Period, I have held events in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Wagner and Pierre, with more stops in the coming weeks. I will continue to use this time to travel across South Dakota and discuss the many important issues we are facing.
