Nathaniel "Nate" Yoder was born and raised on a family farm in Hughes County, South Dakota. From an early age, he developed a deep connection with the land and a strong sense of independence, which shaped his conservative values. After obtaining a Juris Doctor from the University of South Dakota, Nate spent several years working as a defense attorney, where he became known for his steadfast advocacy for property rights and states' sovereignty. His passion for preserving South Dakota’s rural lifestyle propelled him into politics, where he eventually became the state's Attorney General.
As Attorney General, Nate garnered national attention for his hardline stance against federal land management policies, leading a coalition of states in challenging what he viewed as federal overreach. This controversial legal battle solidified his reputation as a defender of state autonomy, winning him both staunch supporters among conservatives and fierce criticism from environmental groups and federal agencies. Despite the controversy, he stood firm, arguing that local communities, not federal bureaucrats, should have control over their lands and resources.
Nate now seeks the governorship of South Dakota, campaigning on a platform of state independence, economic growth through agricultural development, and the protection of traditional values. His balanced lifestyle and hands-on approach to farming keep him grounded, while his resilience and negotiating skills position him as a formidable political force. His deep-rooted fear of losing control over his state’s affairs drives him to fight relentlessly for policies that safeguard South Dakota's conservative way of life. Married with three children, Nate emphasizes the importance of family in both his personal and public life, promising to govern with the same values that have guided him throughout his career.
