Mike Lehmann for Senate in SD 49

Mike Lehmann brings Needed Perspective to State Senate

Mike Lehmann’s years of experience have given him perspective and knowledge of how to get things done that would be greatly beneficial in the State Senate.

Here’s what Mike stands for:

RESPONSIBLE SPENDING
EFFECTIVE EDUCATION
EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION
REASONABLE GOVERNMENT
VETERAN ADVOCATE
COLLABORATION

Mike Lehmann is a fiscal conservative who believes in responsible spending. He feels the State has an adequate income stream and should focus on spending more effectively.

Mike also believes in zero based budgeting. He feels that governments rarely follow-up to review the results of the programs that are implemented. He would work to implement program audits on a rotating basis. He would also insist that new programs be linked to expected results, results that can be measured. Laws should include sunset provisions so that rules and regulations are revisited after a reasonable period of time to ensure they are still required, in whole or in part.
