Public health and safety are my highest priorities.

We are not for disarming people. When you have an epidemic it's a public health issue, a safety issue.

I am very concerned that federal and state air quality programs do not consider public health in regulating certain classes of industrial air emissions.

I'm active in PAX, which is a gun awareness organization. We treat gun safety as a public health issue.

We hope (Rounds) recognizes this for what it is: a political tool and not about the health and safety of the women of South Dakota.

Government's first duty and highest obligation is public safety.
