  1. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have had the legislative career I had if it hadn’t been for Lou. He was the first person I campaigned for as a kid, he got me to be his page in 2003 and from there I was hooked on the legislative process. He was a great man with a big heart and will be greatly missed.

  2. I served with Lou, he was a gentleman and a statesman. He was chair of the Commerce and Energy committee. A leader by example. A solid example of “doing what is best for SD”. Our state is better for his service. And, he served as Mayor of Mitchell. RIP my friend.
