I hope everyone had a great first weekend of summer with the spectacular weather we had in the Black Hills. I hope it stays this gorgeous for the next two weekends because of all the great events coming up. As Emily posted, we will be with Stephanie as she travels to the Black Hills for the 4th of July festivities. We hope that her supporters can join us in the parades and show their support for our Congresswoman. If you want to walk with us for any of the parades on the 4th or if you would like to volunteer in other events, please give me a call at 605-716-3391.
Also, if you are not going to the State Democratic Convention, you can join me at the Festival of Presidents Parade this Saturday, June 28th. It will be a fun parade in downtown Rapid City, so come out and wave a flag and a sign for Stephanie. Hope to see you there!

And Summer Is Here!
With the official start of summer having passed just last week, Stephanie and her campaign are looking forward to the much anticipated parades, fairs, and community events across the state. Stephanie will be heading to the Black Hills next week for a series of parades and 4th of July celebrations.
After Stephanie participates in the fireworks celebration at Mt. Rushmore National Memorial on July 3rd, Erin and I will be accompanying her to the Belle Fourche, Spearfish, and Lead/Deadwood Independence Day parades on July 4th. If you're in the area, please stop by and say hello. These are some of the most fun events we are lucky enough to be a part of and meeting folks across the region is a huge part of that.
We'll keep you posted on other summer events Stephanie will be participating in. Again, feel free to contact me or any other staff with event requests or comments. Thanks and enjoy the summer!

Hello West River!
Hello! My name is Erin McCarrick and I am very excited to be serving as Stephanie’s Deputy Campaign Manager and West River Director. West River is full of strong, independent voices and I’m excited to help lead the charge to re-elect South Dakota’s independent voice to Congress. Many of you may remember me from Stephanie’s 2004 campaign. I made some great friends, met many amazing volunteers, and worked hard to elect a great Representative to the U.S. Congress.
I have also had the opportunity to work in Stephanie’s Congressional office in Rapid City in 2006 and 2007. There, I had the privilege to serve South Dakota’s veteran, military, Native American, and business communities, to name a few. As one of Stephanie’s representatives on the ground, I’m very aware of the concerns that face West River constituents. That’s why I’m working hard this year to re-elect Stephanie. She knows South Dakota’s concerns and interests and she’s the best candidate to represent our state in Washington.
Stephanie’s office is now open in Rapid City so please be sure to stop in and say hi. We are located near the corner of West Main Street and Mt. View Road in the old Picasso’s Pizza Barn. It will be a busy time from now until November. The Rapid City office will be involved in community events, parades, celebrations, and of course listening to the concerns of the voters all over West River.
It’s an exciting year and an exciting time to get involved, so stop in to volunteer, help organize, register to vote, or learn more about what Stephanie is doing for you.
I look forward to seeing you!

Welcome!
Welcome to Stephanie Herseth Sandlin's campaign blog!
I want to take a moment to introduce myself and the rest of Stephanie's campaign staff and let you know we're here for any questions, comments, or suggestions that we can answer regarding Stephanie's re-election campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives. All of our contact information can be found at Stephanie's website at http://www.stephanieforsouthdakota.org/. Please stop by the site, check out Stephanie's stance on issues important to you, find out ways you can be involved in the campaign, and always feel free to contact us.
My name is Emily Lefholz and I joined Stephanie's team as Campaign Manager just a few months ago. Having been born and raised in the Gateway to the Black Hills, Rapid City, I graduated from Stevens High School and have been volunteering and working for South Dakota interests ever since. My lineage, however, is a little more East River slanted, with a mom from Sioux Falls and a dad from a farm just outside of Webster. I've had the pleasure over the last few months to get to know my mom's hometown a little better, as Stephanie's Campaign Headquarters, where I'm based, is in Sioux Falls.
While South Dakota has always made me homesick when I've traveled away, I did take some time to explore the world recently by completing a two year service as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Southern African country of Lesotho. I spent my time in Lesotho working as an English, Life Skills, and HI
V/AIDs teacher in a rural, village high school. I finished my Peace Corps service in December of 2007.
It's been a long road home, but not only am I more grateful than ever to be from this amazing country and state, I am thrilled to be back working for such an exceptional and strong leader for South Dakota. I had previously worked for Stephanie on her Congressional staff in Rapid City as well as in her campaign office during the 2004 special and general elections. I know Stephanie well and continue to be inspired by her work ethic and dedication to South Dakota priorities. From my first hand experience, keeping up with her energy and schedule traveling around the state and making it back to vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives can really wear a person out, so it's good there are a few of us trying to do it.

Stephanie's Finance Director, Katy Hayes, works hard for Stephanie to connect supporters with opportunites to become and stay involved in the campaign. Katy hails from Sioux Falls and is proud to be a graduate of Lincoln High School. While growing up on the eastern side of the state, Katy spent numerous summers in the Black Hills at her family's cabin and makes the trek west whenever time permits.
Katy has lived in many places including Phoenix, AZ and Minneapolis, MN. The decision to move back to South Dakota came in 2006 and returning to her hometown's engaged, supportive community has proven to be a rewarding decision.
If you or any friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers are interested in contributing or volunteering on Stephanie's campaign, let Katy know, she's only a phone call or email away.
Stay tuned for a post from the Deputy Campaign Manager, Erin McCarrick, out in Rapid City, along with information on new staff in the coming weeks.
Again, we're here for you. Check back for periodic blog updates on campaign events in your community and across the state. Enjoy the new website!
