Jensen For Senate

Candidate campaign materials often tell you what you want to hear and then they vote completely different. Make sure you know exactly how you spend your vote! Some claim to have experience but never actually served in the legislature. 

My positions are not ranked in order, I have the same resolve on all of them and my voting record proves it. If you have another issue you are concerned about please

 click here and ask what I believe.

1.Agriculture: I will always support the AG community, they literally put the food on our table and are the backbone of the state economy. I fully support the ethanol industry and  I voted to give local AG producers access to local and out of state markets through direct sales. 

2. Property rights: I oppose Senate Bill 201. the misleading "landowner Bill of Rights." SB201 gives landowners NOTHING they do not already have. However, it removes authority of counties to control their own destiny and allows state control over your land; a very slippery slope. Private ownership and control of your land is critical to our sovereignty. We should not allow foreign ownership of our land directly or through multilevel LLCs that hide ownership. 

3. Education: I fully support education and teachers. With 15 years on the school board I understand the complexities of education and the importance of teaching and not indoctrinating. I believe in local control in education and most other areas of governance.

4. Parental rights: I believe it is the right of parents to chose what their children learn and where they learn it. That is why I also fully support home schooling. 

5. Religious freedom: Your faith is your foundation. We are a Judaeo Christian nation founded on the pillars of Biblical doctrine, if we lose that there is no coming back.

6. Second Amendment: This could be number one on my list. Anywhere it falls on this list makes it no less important than everything else. The Second Amendment is there to protect all the other God given rights we enjoy. "Shall not be infringed" I not hard to understand. 

7. Rights: Rights are a gift from God, not the government. True rights exist in the absence of government. The purpose of government should be to protect your God given rights, not to infringe on them.

8. Volunteers: I support out volunteer firefighters, EMTs and all emergency services. Pray for those who protect you. 

9. Law Enforcement: I have voted repeatedly to support our law enforcement. Having served in LE in Minnehaha and Lincoln counties I understand the challenges of rural law enforcement.

10.  Election Integrity: In 2023 I was the House Prime Sponsor of SB139 which requires proof of 30 day residency in the state to register to vote. Unfortunately the Auditors are not enforcing the law. The only way to have ANY assurance your vote is counted is to vote in person on election day. Mail in ballots can be lost in the mail and we know some have been misplaced because in recounts they occasionally show up as 'found'. There are also questions surrounding the Cast Vote Records (CVR) from the tabulators which capture an image of each ballot for audit purposes. (not who you voted for personally). These are public records that are not being released by every county. 

More to come. I will answer any questions.
