Sioux Falls legislators attend Legislative Coffee and Cracker Barrel event

South Dakota advocacy groups host legislative “coffee and cracker barrel” events so legislators can connect with their constituents.

Saturday was the second of two Sioux Falls events held by the Sioux Falls League of Women Voters. District 12 Rep. Greg Jamison was the only Republican to attend either.

SDPB’s Jackson Dircks had a conversation with him about property tax relief and how the federal spending cuts have a larger impact on South Dakotans than they realize.

Jackson Dircks is a Freeburg, Illinois, native. He is pursuing a degree in English, Journalism and Secondary Education at Augustana University and planning to graduate in May 2025. He plans to pursue a career in sports journalism.
