South Dakota Secretary of State Shantel Krebs spoke to the Winner High School government class on May 12.
She told the class when she was 18 years old she served as a page in the legislature. “That spurred my interest in politics. Since that time I have been actively involved behind the scene in many campaigns,” she said.
Krebs served in the legislature for 10 years prior to running for secretary of state. “I ran for secretary of state because I did not agree what was going on in office. I wanted to make a change,” she explained.
Krebs told the students it is important for them to vote and that every vote does matter. She encouraged the seniors to download the mobile app Vote 605. Here persons can view a sample ballot, find a polling place, view legislative districts, access county auditors and gather absentee ballot information.
