The drama of who talked me into running, why I was forced to switch from being an independent and why I’ve so quickly come back is a juicy one that may come out at a later date but for now ✌️❤️✊🙏
I’m home, again.
It shouldn’t take exceptional candidates with exceptionally large sums of money to break the chokehold of a one party dominance in state government.
I’m promising to continue working hard for the betterment of South Dakotans-open primaries being one.
This account will be quieting down but consider giving @nicoleaheenan a follow to stay connected. Thanks again for making this run such a rewarding, hopeful experience.
I was busily working towards some fun work projects- somatic based psychotherapy group curriculum and psychedelic assisted therapy before I got distracted with this Senate race effort.
It made the GOP send out a laughable smear campaign, and even had @RepDustyJohnson knocking on doors for my opponent.
More to come later but here’s a start. Forever and always

We didn’t win but we weren’t supposed to. Our system is broken. Incumbents win 95% of the time. It’s nearly impossible. However, what a heart warming, inspiring run we had.
This poorly funded grassroots campaign bought art supplies for mentally unwell and estranged kids and food for Rapid City kids who don’t have as much as everyone else. It was so productive. So productive it drove my opponent out to knock on doors.
People are tired of the same old political rhetoric that’s dividing our country, yet incumbents (currently serving elected officials) win 95% of the time. Change is here but you have to vote that change in.#PeopleOverPoliticians#HeenanForSenate
If party loyalty, age, and experience in office were metrics of success, we’d be better off today than ever before. We’re not.
Here’s a friendly ask 🙏❤️
There’s close to 300 campaign shirts sprinkled around this blueberry 🌎 rock them and rock them loudly, please. Give me a shout out or don’t. You may be surprised at how often FRIENDLY comments are made because of it.
As of this morning, 2,158 voters (that’s 14% of eligible voters) have voted in Dist 32.
Every vote matters.
Consider taking a few minutes to swing by PennCo Auditors office today to cast yours. #peopleoverpoliticians#heenanforsenate
Young people (you’re probably not on here)- you’re the largest voting bloc this election cycle. You can radically change the political climate of this state if you vote. Want change? Vote today. #heenanforsenate#peopleoverpoliticians
Incumbents win 95% of the time.
Want change? You have to vote it in.
South Dakota is drowning in a one party dominance. Want a more dynamic and true representation of the people? Vote change in. #HeenanForSenate#PeopleOverPoliticians
