STATE REPRESENTATIVE JIM HALVERSON ANNOUNCES RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN FOR DISTRICT 21 HOUSE
WINNER, S.D. – Today, State Representative Jim Halverson officially announced his candidacy for re-election to the South Dakota State House of Representatives, seeking to continue serving the residents of District 21.
“South Dakota consistently demonstrates effective, limited government, thanks to a strong legislative commitment to conservative fiscal responsibility,” said Rep. Halverson. “We maintain balanced budgets, low taxes, and strong educational outcomes while meeting formally for only a couple of months a year. This requires dedicated individuals who approach legislation with common sense, listen to all constituents, and understand that government cannot be all things to all people.”
During his tenure, Representative Halverson has leveraged his background as a former member of the South Dakota Highway Patrol and former small business owner, an electrician, and coach to inform his legislative priorities. He has focused on maintaining public safety, supporting strong educational standards, and improving community health services.
As a member of the Education Committee, Rep. Halverson has voted to protect essential public services, including maintaining resources for the South Dakota State Library, and has championed local control, protecting librarians, teachers, and certified counselors from over-regulation and state overreach. On the Health and Human Services Committee, he has supported critical public safety measures such as the “Safe Baby Box” legislation and increasing public accessibility to life-saving overdose reversal medications like Narcan.
“As a coach, I strive to teach integrity, honesty, and respect, values I carry to Pierre on behalf of District 21,” said Halverson.
Halverson resides in Winner with his wife, Coni.
District 21 includes Aurora, Charles Mix, Douglas, Gregory, and Tripp counties. Absentee voting for the Republican Primary begins on April 17, 2026, with the primary election scheduled for June 2, 2026.
