06/15/2022 Tweet - "In the 2020 election, Google filtered nearly 70% of GOP candidates' emails into spam folders. What about Democrat candidates? Only 8% of Dem emails were sent to spam. This is clear, quantifiable political bias from Big Tech. Unacceptable & anti-democratic."

02/16/2022 Letter to Hon. Merrick Garland, Attorney General Department of Justice-WICKER, HYDE-SMITH URGE ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND TO RESPECT DURHAM INVESTIGATION
01/12/2022 Tweet: Democrats are dealing in distraction. They don't want Americans focused on their many failures -- the southern border crisis, skyrocketing inflation, disastrous Afghanistan exit, COVID, etc. -- so they are manufacturing a "voting rights" crisis. It's easier than ever to vote.
01/11/2022 Tweet: Voting should be easy and accessible, but Democrats' "voting rights" bill isn't about getting more Americans to the polls or strengthening faith in our system. They have openly admitted that this bill is about giving their party an advantage in the next election.
01/06/2022 Tweet: My statement on the anniversary of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot
01/05/2022 Thune: Democrats Want to Change the Rules in the Middle of the Game to Pass Radical Policies
11/04/2021 Tweet - "Democrats are living in a bubble & tuning out the message that Americans sent loud and clear at the ballot box. The American people see what's in Democrats' Build Back BIGGER, nanny state, big-government approach, and they don't want that to be our nation's future."
10/20/2021 Tweet - "Democrats' election "reform" bill is a thinly veiled federal takeover of our election system -- crafted to help Ds win elections. It doesn't matter how many times we vote on it, the result will be the same: Republicans will reject it."
10/20/2021 Tweet - "Democrats' election "reform" bill is a thinly veiled federal takeover of our election system -- crafted to help Ds win elections. It doesn't matter how many times we vote on it, the result will be the same: Republicans will reject it."
09/23/2021 Tweet - "It's obvious that Dems believe Washington elites know what's best for everyone -- even South Dakotans. They're pushing for a federal takeover of states' authority -- telling them how to hold elections -- and forcing their liberal views on abortion laws and immunization requirements."
09/22/2021 Tweet - "Democrats seem to have forgotten that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. South Dakotans don't want Washington elites -- who may have never stepped foot in our state -- to be writing our election laws. Plain and simple."
09/21/2021 Tweet - "I'm noticing a distinct pattern of Democrats trying to force Republican-governed states to bend the knee to their radical agenda. We are not going to allow Democrats to rewrite election laws in South Dakota, or any other state. Period."
08/19/2021 Letter to Hon. Merrick Garland, United States Attorney General - Sen. Cramer, Colleagues Demand Durham Report Be Made Public
08/19/2021 Letter to Hon. Merrick Garland, United States Attorney General - Hoeven to AG Garland: Allow for Completion and Public Release of Durham Report

08/19/2021 Letter to Hon. Merrick Garland, Attorney General - Sens. Cruz, Blackburn, Colleagues Demand Durham Report Be Made Public
07/20/2021 For the People Act
07/14/2021 Texas
06/22/2021 Tweet - "If Ds were to get their election bill passed, current senators' campaigns could receive more than $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars. Yes, this bill would use Americans' hard-earned money to fund yard signs & attack ads. GOP will reject."
06/22/2021 Tweet - "Today's vote summed up: Republicans believe that states have the authority *under the Constitution* to conduct elections & decisions are better when they're made closer to the people. Dems believe Washington bureaucrats are better positioned to make decisions."
06/22/2021 Tweet - "Once you pull back the curtain on Ds' "election integrity" bill, it's nothing more than a move to help Ds win elections. It would force states to turn over elections to D.C. bureaucrats. I don't think Speaker Pelosi & Sen. Schumer should be governing South Dakota's elections."
06/22/2021 Tweet - "Here's how Politico characterized Ds' election bill this am: "It's always been a messaging bill -- a check-the-box move allowing party leaders to tell the left they tried." That's not a GOP politician saying it. That's from a paper that covers Capitol Hill day in and day out."
