Rep. Curt Massie Announces Re-election Campaign for District 33 House

RAPID CITY, S.D. — State Representative Curt Massie announced today that he is seeking re-election to the South Dakota House of Representatives in District 33.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of District 33,” Massie said. “I am grateful for the trust they have placed in me and look forward to continuing to represent them in Pierre.”

Massie and his wife, an elementary school teacher, are lifelong South Dakotans who raised their family in the state and remain committed to its values. As a lifelong Republican, Massie has consistently supported conservative principles, including lower taxes, strong property rights, and responsible government.

During his time in office, Massie has prioritized tax relief and support for South Dakota businesses and landowners. In 2025, he sponsored and passed House Bill 1245, which provided tax relief for small businesses by exempting guaranteed payments from sales tax. He also passed Senate Bill 15, strengthening landowner representation by giving the Landowner and Outfitters Alliance, representing more than two million acres, a stronger voice on a state policy advisory committee.

This past legislative session, Massie brought Senate Bill 125 to the House floor to establish a homeowner tax reduction fund, ensuring property tax relief dollars are used exclusively for that purpose. The proposal originated from the Legislature’s Property Tax Summer Study and was designed to prevent those funds from being redirected to other uses. The framework of the bill was later incorporated into additional property tax relief measures passed this session.

Massie also worked closely with local first responders to address critical public safety needs. When the Meade County Sheriff’s Office, the Black Hawk Volunteer Fire Department, the Summerset Police Department, and other agencies raised concerns about serious radio communication problems, he went to work to find a solution.

Even when the Governor’s office initially said support would not happen because it was not inthe budget, Massie brought together the Governor’s office, state agencies, and fellow legislators to find a path forward, ultimately securing funding to address those communication problems and make District 33 safer.

That is the kind of leadership District 33 needs, and that is why it is so important to send Massie back to Pierre to keep working for you.

As a former state tax auditor, Massie brings extensive knowledge of South Dakota tax law. With the state assessing more than $36 million in unpaid taxes last fiscal year, primarily from large out-of-state companies, Massie pledges to work on solutions that ensure those companies better understand their tax obligations and pay the taxes they owe, so South Dakotans can pay less in taxes.

Massie is seeking his third term in the House and asks for your continued support and vote in the upcoming Republican primary election on June 2, 2026.
