My name is Michael Calabrese. My wife Jennifer and I own Black Hills Vinyl downtown, and I work a tech job here in town. Rapid City has been home for more than a decade, and everything I care about in this race comes from that.

I'm running for state senate because the people and families who live in District 34 deserve a legislator who works on what matters most to them.

Pierre isn't Washington. The job is state work: schools, hospitals, housing, good jobs. That's what I'm running on.

My Focus

Four things I'll work on in Pierre.

Housing, healthcare, schools, and good jobs, measured by what they mean for Rapid City.

A place to live that a working family can afford.

Healthcare that doesn't bankrupt the people who keep this town running.

Public schools worth sending our kids to.

Good jobs, and the people to fill them.

Housing you can afford. Healthcare that won't bankrupt you. Schools worth sending our kids to. Good jobs that build our communities. A South Dakota that works for the people.
