Why they’re
Sensible
Green earned his place on our slate the old-fashioned way — by showing up for Rapid City for decades before he ever asked for a vote. Fifteen-plus years on the Black Hills Federal Credit Union board, service on Wellfully's finance committee helping youth recovery, the parks-and-rec golf advisory committee, Leadership Rapid City — this is a résumé built block by block at home. His policy focus is equally local: an Ellsworth Air Force Base that keeps expanding, Missouri River water for the West River, and what he calls 'sensible restructuring of the property tax system to address the explosion of owner-occupied property taxes.' He came within 34 votes in the 2024 primary and accepted a recount result without theatrics — a temperament that matches his campaign's problem-solving pitch.
