Sioux Falls, S.D., city council.

Party for Socialism and Liberation member Amanda Todd received 11.1 percent of the vote in the April 8th Sioux Falls, S.D., city council election. A first-time candidate, Todd placed third behind the winner, Kenny Anderson Jr., in an impressive finish.


Todd, a postal worker and activist, gave the working class a rare voice by supporting immigrants, sovereignty for Native Americans and a livable minimum wage. Todd promoted socialism and the PSL while campaigning in the northeastern section of Sioux Falls.

With many voters dissatisfied with the current make up of the council, Amanda provided a genuine alternative. Voters recognized Todd’s qualifications as a worker and activist, proving that there is a place for socialism in South Dakota and that working people do want to be represented.

Todd will use the momentum of her remarkable showing to further promote socialism and continue fighting shoulder to shoulder with the workers of Sioux Falls.
