Doeden Enters Governor’s Race, Vows to Eliminate Property Taxes
In a bold move, South Dakota’s former House Speaker, Rep. Steven Doeden, has officially announced his candidacy for governor in the 2024 election. In a campaign that promises to resonate with taxpayers across the state, Doeden has made a significant pledge: to eliminate property taxes entirely.
During his announcement, Doeden emphasized the burdensome nature of property taxes on South Dakotans, asserting that they hinder homeowners and business growth. His campaign centers around the belief that property taxes disproportionately affect low- to middle-income families, making homeownership increasingly difficult. “Our residents deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money,” Doeden stated, advocating for a tax structure that benefits all citizens.
Doeden, who has served in the state legislature for over a decade and held the position of House Speaker, brings a wealth of experience in governance and a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility. His proposal includes not only the elimination of property taxes but also a reallocation of funding sources to ensure that essential services are maintained without place undue financial strain on residents.
With a growing sense of urgency around economic issues, Doeden’s pledge is likely to resonate with many voters concerned about affordability and economic stability. As South Dakota’s tax landscape remains a topic of heated debate, Doeden aims to put property tax reform at the forefront of his campaign, positioning himself as a proponent of significant change.
As his campaign unfolds, Doeden will likely face scrutiny and competition from other candidates who may have varying views on taxation and economic policies. His commitment to alter the property tax landscape marks a pivotal point in the race, potentially reshaping the discussion as South Dakotans head to the polls.
