Actions speak louder than campaign promises! 📢Rep. Josephine Garcia for District 5 recently sat down with Tonchi Weaver from South Dakota Citizens for Liberty on Northeast Radio SD to discuss why legislative scorecards are the ultimate tool for voter transparency.As Rep. Garcia rightly points out, a voting record isn't opinion—it’s fact. Either a legislator stands up for the South Dakota Constitution and conservative principles, or they don't.Before you cast your ballot in the upcoming primary, do your homework. Look past the flyers, check the real stats, and see who is truly fighting for smaller government, lower taxes, and family values."Your voice, your vote, our community, our future. Let's stand South Dakota strong!" 🌲🏛️🗓️ Primary Election Day: Tuesday, June 2 🗳️ Absentee Voting: Open now through Monday, June 1 (Don't forget your photo ID!) 📊 Research the Scorecards: Visit sdcitizensforliberty.org to see the data for yourself.#SDPrimary #SDLeg #ConservativeLeadership #SouthDakotaStrong #JosephineGarcia #AccountabilityInPolitics #VoteJune2Paid for by Garcia for SD Senate

Defending Our Farms or Funding Fake Meat? 🥩🌾
South Dakota's agricultural heritage is on the line. In a recent exclusive interview on Northeast Radio SD, Representatives Julie Auch and Josephine Garcia sounded the alarm on the rise of cell-cultivated "fake meat" and the legislative battle over HB 1077.
According to the statements, did you know that a multinational corporation actively investing in lab-grown proteins recently received over $38 million in state taxpayer grants from the South Dakota Future Fund? While the science behind bioreactors and cultivated cells is strictly FDA-approved, many local ranchers are asking a much simpler question: Why are we prioritizing corporate biomanufacturing over our traditional family farms?
We have a right to know what’s on our plates and exactly where our tax dollars are going.
