Issues & Political Concerns

Bethany is a Republican because she believes in limited government. She is a true conservative who loves South Dakota and wants to preserve our strong communities. Below are a few of her guiding principles:

Family Values

The family is the bedrock of a free society. Bethany is a full-time mom committed to promoting policies that strengthen families and increase opportunity. As a strong pro-life advocate, she actively fights to protect the sanctity of life at all stages.

Second Amendment

The right to keep and bear arms is essential to a free society. Bethany supports policies that protect this right against federal intrusion.

Limited Government

The government should only provide services that cannot be offered by the private sector. Bethany advocates for lower taxes because individuals can spend their own money better than the government.

Local Control

South Dakota is built on close knit communities. The people within these communities know best what their own neighborhoods need. Bethany supports keeping government control as close to the local community as possible.

Biography

Bethany Soye grew up in a rural community where she showed market lambs in 4-H and took fuel orders at the local farmers cooperative. While her education took her to the east coast, she quickly returned to South Dakota (which she likes to call America's best kept secret). She spent 5 years in Anti-Money Laundering Compliance at a Sioux Falls bank. Bethany is involved in her community through youth softball and hockey and serves on the praise team at her church. She met her husband Ryan playing hockey and loves to spend time with him on the ice. The couple has two young sons.
