Strengthening cybersecurity is vital for protecting citizens' info and our state's infrastructure. The Attorney General's Office and DSU will bolster our community defenses against cyber threats. Excited to see @MikeWaldner lead this effort in South Dakota! #CyberSecurity

What a great story. I've had the opportunity to work with Fay and have enjoyed his enthusiasm for the industry and passion to connect our citizens in SD.

Rodeo - Maybe he can teach me how to rope a calf?

Over 10yrs ago Bucko and I were here on the Honor Flight. 😊. Was so special to have the honor to accompany him to see his WWII memorial. The world will never have another like him - he was the greatest of the greatest generation. Miss him.

I’ve run into dogs while cycling outside in the summer. Didn’t expect it in the winter on my trainer inside. This mad dog is the toughest of them all. #Borti @sydnierae15 @LoriWaldner @JessicaFjerstad

I talked with a few of our providers and they are holding up well.

They may have to increase the bandwidth if we are all online watching football, streaming Die Hard or your favorite Christmas movie.

[ConnectSD @broadbandsd]

Broadband helps keep us safe and connected to check on family and friends. Proud of our South Dakota Internet Providers keeping our Internet going through this multi-day snow/wind/blizzard storm. Oh and to survive being stuck inside - #MovieTime anyone?

[Mike Waldner @MikeWaldner]

Glad to update the interim Appropriations Committee of the legislature last month on the work done to connect everyone in SD to high-speed Internet. Lots of progress to build on as we have more work to do.
