A Sioux Falls That Works for Everyone
Action Party Sioux Falls stands for safe neighborhoods, affordable homes, strong schools, accountable government, and practical solutions that put people ahead of politics.
Sioux Falls is growing, but growth alone is not enough.
A city only s쳮ds when working people, families, seniors, students, and small neighborhoods can s쳮d with it.
Action Party Sioux Falls believes in a progressive centralist approach: protect rights, invest wisely, tell the truth about public problems, and focus on results instead of noise. We want a city that is safe without being cruel, efficient without being indifferent, and forward-looking without leaving people behind.
We believe Sioux Falls deserves leadership that is honest, competent, people-first, and ready to act.
Our Local Priorities
Affordable Homes and Stable Neighborhoods
Housing should not become a luxury good for the few. Sioux Falls needs more homes at more price points, including starter homes, townhomes, apartments, mixed-use neighborhoods, and practical reinvestment in older housing.
We support policies that expand housing supply, preserve neighborhood quality, help seniors remain in their homes, and give working families a real chance to live where they work. Growth should strengthen neighborhoods, not price residents out of them.
Childcare, Schools, and Family Stability
A strong city begins with strong families. That means excellent public schools, fair pay for educators, manageable class sizes, and childcare that does not force parents to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their children.
We support practical partnerships among the city, schools, nonprofits, employers, and community organizations to improve access to childcare, strengthen family stability, and keep Sioux Falls welcoming for the next generation.
Safe Streets and Smart Public Safety
Public safety is about more than punishment. It is about prevention, trust, treatment, accountability, and effective emergency response.
We support well-trained law enforcement, strong oversight, traffic safety improvements, neighborhood-level prevention, and continued investment in behavioral health and addiction response. Sioux Falls should be safe, lawful, and humane at the same time.
Transportation, Walkability, and Connected Neighborhoods
A city should work for people whether they drive, walk, bike, ride transit, are older, or live with a disability.
We support safer intersections, better sidewalks, stronger trail connections, more practical transit options, and neighborhood design that helps people reach school, work, shopping, parks, and services with dignity. Transportation is not just about cars. It is about access.
Honest Budgets and Accountable Government
Residents deserve a city government that explains tradeoffs clearly, spends responsibly, and shows its work.
We support transparent budgets, clear public dashboards, ethical decision-making, neighborhood input before major development decisions, and measurable goals for public programs. Good government is not abstract. It affects rent, roads, safety, services, and trust.
Growth With Fairness
Sioux Falls should welcome new investment without becoming a city where only the best-connected benefit.
We support growth that strengthens local business districts, improves public spaces, protects neighborhood character where appropriate, and shares opportunity across the city. Development should serve the people who live here, not just the people with the loudest voices or deepest pockets.
Action Party Sioux Falls is building a people-first movement for a stronger city.
We believe Sioux Falls can be more affordable, more connected, more accountable, and more just. We believe practical solutions are still possible. And we believe the future of this city should belong to the people who live here, work here, raise families here, and call it home.
