“Taffy Howard is a proven fighter for our values. I know what it takes to be an effective lawmaker in Pierre. It takes courage and commitment to your principles. Taffy
will fight to keep South Dakota free, and deliver results for our families.”
Spencer Gosch
Former Speaker of the House
Former District 23 Representative
“As Speaker of the House, I knew that there was no better choice for Vice Chair of House Appropriations than Taffy. She understood the intricacies of our state budget and was always willing to put in the work to ensure our citizens were being put first in all budgetary considerations. She’s smart, dedicated, and principled. You could not have a better person representing you in Pierre.”
Sam Marty
Purple Heart Recipient
Former District 28B Representative
“I had the privilege to serve with Taffy in the state House Military and Veteran’s Affairs committee. Taffy is one of the greatest legislators I’ve had the honor to serve with. You
could not elect a better person. Her military experience showed through in everything she did. Her work ethic and tenacity in fighting for her constituents sets her apart. Representatives as good as her do not come along very often.”
Marli Wiese
Former Majority Whip
Former District 8 Representative
“Taffy always showed dedication to her constituents in Pierre, a place where special interests sometimes crowds out hard-working South Dakotans, but that was never the case with Taffy. She truly cared about her district.”

Chairman, Health & Human Services Committee
District 16 Representative
District 16 Senate Candidate
“As an appropriator, Taffy’s attention to detail and asking the hard questions, in order to safeguard the taxpayer’s dollars, was unmatched by any other legislator. It would be an honor to serve with her again.”
Dan Kaiser
Aberdeen Police Officer
Iraq & Bosnia Military Veteran
Former District 3 Representative
“Taffy is a proven conservative leader. Taffy stood for the taxpayer and was a leader on the Appropriations committees. Taffy’s commitment to our men and women in uniform is second to none.”

Hi, I’m Taffy Howard. My dedication to our community is both a personal commitment and a reflection of my military service.

Now, I am eager to continue this mission in the South Dakota State Senate. My experience—from managing local business ventures to championing pro-life and family-centric policies—shapes my vision: to safeguard our freedoms, improve the economic welfare of our families, and firmly maintain the constitutional principles of our state. Together, we can create a future for District 34 that respects our heritage and embraces progress.
In service,
