HURON – If elected state treasurer, Aaron Matson said he will always remember that he has been entrusted by the public to serve them first.
“It’s my job to help each and every South Dakotan have a better life,” he said at the District 22 Democratic Forum on Thursday.
Matson, who has a doctorate degree in political science from the University of Dakota and is a Lutheran pastor while also serving as communications director for the Democratic Party, said he thinks the treasurer’s office could do a better job promoting what it does to help people.
With scandals, complacency and one-party rule, Matson said he thinks those on the other side of the aisle have forgotten a key point.
“Public administration and public service is first and foremost about the public and how we serve the public,” he said.
