Toby Doeden

South Dakota Governor

Top Issues

Education Our schools should teach reading, writing, math, and critical thinking — NOT radical ideologies like Gender Theory and Critical Race Theory. Under the Doeden Administration, there will be zero indoctrination in South Dakota schools. Abortion / Contraception South Dakota is an unapologetically pro-life state, and Toby Doeden will keep it that way. As a father of four, Toby Doeden will stand up for the unborn and defend South Dakota families. Taxes / Budget Property taxes have gotten completely out of control. Toby Doeden will fight to reduce and ultimately eliminate your property taxes, so that you can raise your family, operate your farm or ranch, and grow your business free from crushing property taxes. Immigration By supporting our brave law enforcement officers, deporting dangerous illegal aliens, and upholding law and order, Toby Doeden will restore public safety in South Dakota. Taxes / Budget Career politicians and corrupt bureaucrats have bankrupted our nation and skyrocketed our state’s spending. Toby Doeden will work to meticulously cut all wasteful and reckless spending throughout South Dakota. Immigration Illegal aliens from all over the world have infiltrated our nation. In South Dakota, we won’t put up with it. Toby Doeden will work with ICE to accelerate the arrests and deportations of illegal immigrants throughout our state.
