Faith. Service. Stewardship. South Dakota First.
Faith. Service. Stewardship. South Dakota First.
Heath Shields is a Republican candidate for South Dakota State Treasurer, shaped by years of entrepreneurial leadership, real-world business experience, and responsible financial management rooted in sound economic principles that reflect South Dakota’s way of life. Raised with a deep appreciation for hard work and strong moral grounding, Heath understands the importance of managing money wisely—the same way South Dakota families do every day.
As an entrepreneur and businessman, Heath has owned and operated multi-million-dollar businesses, balanced budgets, made payroll, and navigated complex financial landscapes. He's not a career politician; he's a problem-solver who believes government should be transparent, accountable, and efficient. Heath is running for State Treasurer to be a watchdog for your tax dollars, ensuring every cent is protected and invested wisely. He is committed to shielding our state's finances from wasteful spending and bureaucratic overreach.
My campaign begins with a simple truth: Leadership isn’t found in ambition—it’s born from calling. I stepped forward because South Dakota needs leaders who are grounded in faith, driven by service, and committed to protecting the values that built this state.
I was deeply inspired by the “I Am Charlie” movement—not as a slogan, but as a reminder that ordinary people must answer extraordinary calls. South Dakota deserves leaders who don’t wait for someone else to step up, but who bring conviction, humility, and courage into public service.
My foundation is clear: Honor God, serve the people, and steward your resources with integrity. These principles guide every decision I make and form the backbone of the 7 Guiding Principles and 7 Pillars outlined in this campaign.
South Dakotans deserve a Treasurer who protects them—not a bureaucrat who forgets them.
