Northeast Radio SD's Steve Jurrens interviews Sam Froehlke (fro-ell-kee), an Independent candidate running for the South Dakota House of Representatives in District 4 for the 2026 election.
Froehlke shares his background as a conservative from the Toronto area who is running independently to ensure the voices of "normal people" are heard in Pierre. He explains his decision to avoid traditional party politics to present an honest platform that doesn't fully align with either major party.
Key Topics Covered:
Property Tax Reform: Froehlke champions clear, common-sense property tax assessments, proposing they be based on the last sale price adjusted for inflation, not speculative value. He advocates for increased local control, allowing people to vote on county and school district budgets.
Prioritizing Fire and EMS: He addresses the crisis in volunteer emergency services, suggesting that budgets for Fire and EMS may need to be prioritized ahead of school budgets to ensure these critical, life-saving services remain viable and adequately staffed.
Independent Healthcare: To combat unmanageable healthcare costs, Froehlke suggests non-traditional solutions, including encouraging independent clinics and requiring employers to offer the cash equivalent of insurance to employees who opt out.
Data Centers and Corporate Land Ownership: Froehlke aligns with local constituent sentiment against large projects like the data center near Toronto, questioning why corporations seeking public tax exemptions should not be subject to public input. He also supports limits on out-of-state and corporate land ownership, an issue highly important to residents in the area.
Clarity in Legislation: He touches upon complex issues like marijuana legislation, advocating for clear compromise, and reaffirms his pro-life stance that life begins at conception.
Listen to Sam Froehlke's call for South Dakota to focus on local solutions and policies that directly benefit its residents.
