Make Brookings Affordable Again.
Stop the rent hikes. Unrig the tax system. Fund our future.
The "Brookings Squeeze"
District 7 is being crushed. We send our tax dollars to Pierre, but all we get back are higher bills.
11% Rent Hike
Brookings rents spiked 11.3% last year. Pierre is protecting corporate landlords while neighbors get priced out.
Grocery Tax
South Dakota is still one of the only states that taxes the food you eat to survive. It's time to end it.
Tuition Hikes
The tuition freeze is over. Pierre is passing state debts onto students and working families at SDSU.
The Dakota Dividend
Blake Stevens has a comprehensive plan to cut property taxes by 20% and eliminate the grocery tax entirely—fully funded by asking the top 1% to finally pay their fair share.
Read the Full PlanWhat You Get:
Fully Funded By: A fairness tax on income only above $300,000/year.
Not a Politician.
A Neighbor.
"I'm not running to start a career; I'm running to fix a problem. As a student and worker in Brookings, I see my neighbors struggling to keep up. It's time for a new generation of leadership in Pierre."
