published 7-10

This week former Circuit Court Judge Tim Bjorkman plans to formally announce his candidacy for South Dakota’s at-large seat in the United States House of Representatives.

Bjorkman will make the announcement on Thursday, July 13th at 6 p.m. at the Canistota Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the Canistota Public School. The public is invited to attend the program and free will supper that follows.

Bjorkman indicated that he plans to run an aggressive, issue-focused campaign that seeks to unite rather than divide and deliver real solutions to problems rather than promote partisan bickering.

Some of the key issues Bjorkman anticipates in the campaign are: insuring access to timely healthcare for all Americans, how best to respond to the growing American economic divide, tax fairness, protecting vulnerable children, and the ways in which both political parties are failing rural America.
