I’m endorsing Mary Fitzgerald for the South Dakota House of Representatives because she is a conservative from a family that has represented this community for many generations. She will represent us with a common sense approach in the best interest for Lawrence County and listen to the people that elect her. Mary is running for the position for the people of Lawrence County.
Former Mayor, State Senator
Mary Fitzgerald, a lifetime resident of South Dakota, has been an active and hardworking member for the Republican Party for as long as I can remember. She is the current chair of the Lawrence County Republican Party and has done a tremendous amount of work on behalf of the Party and Republican candidates for various elective offices. Mary has an accounting degree and at one time she worked for a corporation that operated thirty stores. That experience has given Mary a wealth of knowledge concerning budgets, payroll, taxes and government regulations. I know that experience will be most helpful when bills are proposed that can have a positive or negative effect on the citizens and businesses of South Dakota. As the current and former chair of the Lawrence County Republican Party Mary Fitzgerald has demonstrated that she is willing to do the work and accept the responsibilities that come with the position. A vote for Mary Fitzgerald for the South Dakota House of Representatives is a vote for a candidate with excellent communication skills, a fantastic work ethic, and the business background for be an excellent advocate for the citizens of Lawrence County and South Dakota.
