According to Kristi’s website, Brian’s biography states: «I am proud to be from rural South Dakota. It is where I learned the values of hard work and self-reliance, where Kristi and I decided to raise our children, where we opened an insurance company and hunting lodge, and where my family has been farming and ranching for over a century. But many small towns like ours are struggling today. Class sizes are shrinking. Businesses can’t afford to stay open. And fewer and fewer kids are coming home to farm or ranch. While South Dakota’s population has grown by over 100,000 people since 2000, rural populations have declined. Seeing our larger communities thrive is exciting, but I want to make sure we don’t lose South Dakota’s rural culture».
