Re-elect Feinstein for State House

Let's Keep Fighting to Change Pierre's Priorities

You first elected Marc Feinstein to the House of Representatives in 2006 to help change the focus of Pierre's priorities.  Now you can vote to re-elect Marc on November 4th to return him to Pierre to keep fighting for you. 

Marc is a native South Dakotan who knows what it is like to run a family business.  He is married to Nancy and has four children: Jennifer, Scott, Rachel and James.  An Aberdeen native, Marc owned and managed Feinstein's Ready-to-Wear, a women’s and children’s clothing store his grandfather founded in 1924. An avid wrestler, Marc lettered at Aberdeen Central High School and at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he also earned his A.B. in Economics and Spanish and played clarinet in the Incomparable Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band.

Marc is a graduate of the University of South Dakota School of Law and received an advanced degree in tax law from the University of Florida College of Law.

Since 1995 he has been practicing law concentrating his practice in Elder Law, helping our senior South Dakotans and disabled citizens with Medicaid eligibility planning, disability planning, wills, powers of attorney , and supplemental or special needs trusts along with tax and business planning.

He is Chair of the State Advisory Committee of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and the former Legal Council for the South Dakota Chapter of March of Dimes. Marc is the past President of the Su Fu Du Drumline organization and a past President of Mt. Zion Temple in Sioux Falls.

"I am not afraid of rolling up my sleeves and doing the hard work," Feinstein says. "From the wrestling mat to behind the front desk at Feinstein's to helping my clients to serving as the eyes and ears of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, I know that there is no replacement for it. I'll bring that same hard work to the legislature."

Some of Marc's major campaign issues include:

• Aren't you tired of hearing that South Dakota keeps falling further behind our neighbofring states in teacher pay . . . So am I . . .It's time to address the problem before our best and brightest teachers leave and cross the border.  We can start by making the investment in our children our number one priority in Pierre and adequately fund education the very first thing.  Only then can we begin to cath up to our neighboring states.  

• Getting state government back to solving citizens' problems. "South Dakotans are a good, moral people who don't need the legislature to make moral choices for them. We need to get the legislature back on track, working on helping our citizens with their real concerns, helping small businesses grow and create good paying jobs."
• I will contnue working hard for alternative energy sources and incentives to "reduce the price of gas".  
• On Reponsible and Open government,  "I am working for you being a watchdog for your tax dollars in Pierre.  We need to open up your government to make sure you are able to get the information you want.  No more hide and seek".
