In 2024, Rebecca Reimer's voting record shows she voted four separate times against the people of District 26.

SB201 (Reimer YES):

• Stripped local governments of their zoning authority over carbon pipelines.

• Undermined private property rights by favoring corporate interests.

• Pushed an ineffective "Landowner Bill of Rights". Limited local fees

• Failed to prevent eminent domain abuse!

HB1185 (Reimer YES):

• Made it easier for developers to force their way onto private property by creating a legal framework and state-approved pathway to survey land for siting permits.

• The 30-day advance notice requirement allowed companies to dictate the terms of survey access rather than protecting the fundamental property rights of those who explicitly denied permission to enter their land.

HB1186 (Reimer YES):

• Favored large corporate interests by stripping authority from local county commissions to halt pipeline development.

• Overly Long Timelines: 99-year easements are overly intrusive to private property, locking up farmland for generations.

• Eminent Domain: effectively forced property owners to surrender their land for corporate projects.

HB1219 (Reimer NO)

Would prohibit the exercise of eminent domain for the construction of pipelines carrying carbon dioxide.

In 2025, she continued that behavior by voting against HB1249.

HB1249 (Reimer NO)

An Act to protect landowners from the use of deception, fraud, harassment, intimidation, misrepresentation, or threat, in acquiring easements for linear infrastructure.

Then she voted for HB1052, which ended carbon pipelines in SD. Was it a change of heart? Nah, that’s just what career politicians do when they need cover under heavy fire. Vote right ONCE and vote like a liberal the rest of the time.

GROVE

In 2025, Tamara Grove consistently stood against pipelines and eminent domain.

SCR606: Grove co-sponsor

Expressing the Legislature's concern about the potential for a carbon oxide pipeline to become a weapon of mass destruction to be used by terrorists or unfriendly governments and urging the Public Utilities Commission to conduct risk assessments and establish stronger regulatory and security measures for carbon oxide pipelines to ensure adequate state, county, business, and family emergency response planning.

HB1052 (Grove Yes) Co-sponsor - prohibit the exercise of eminent domain for a pipeline that carries carbon oxide.

HJR5001 (Grove Yes) proposing and submitting to the voters at the next general election an amendment to the Constitution of the State of South Dakota, requiring a declaration of necessity and clarifying public use of private property taken or damaged by eminent domain.

SB239 (Grove NO) would have provided relief for companies such as those operating data centers by allowing them to write off a certain percentage of the cost of purchasing large equipment.

SB135 (Grove YES) An Act to protect residents from increased utility costs and utility shortages caused by data centers and clarify authority to regulate data centers.
