Meet the Candidates: Bolin seeks final Senate term in District 16

Longtime state lawmaker Jim Bolin is seeking a fourth Senate term, but he is opposed by one of four Independents seeking a legislative seat in this election. A Democrat is also on the ballot.

In the House, two Republicans and one Democrat are competing for two seats.

The southern Sioux Falls district includes Canton.

The Dakota Scout sent a series of questions to all legislative candidates in the Sioux Falls and surrounding area who are running contested for state House and Senate in the Nov. 8 election. Candidates were asked to limit their responses to each question to 100 words or less.
