Erin Tobin has been appointed as the South Dakota State Chair for U.S. Term Limits, an organization dedicated to advocating for term limits at the federal level. Tobin, who has a robust background in both private and public service, aims to spearhead efforts to adopt a resolution in South Dakota supporting term limits.
"I am honored to serve as the South Dakota State Chair for U.S. Term Limits," Tobin stated. "Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear. Polls show that one issue that unites all South Dakotans regardless of political affiliation is the need for congressional term limits."
She added, "For many, serving in Congress has become a lifelong entitlement rather than a public service. Term limits will help improve accountability, diversify Congress, and make government work better for all Americans."
Philip Blumel, President of U.S. Term Limits, expressed his confidence in Tobin’s leadership, saying, "We are honored to have Erin leading our efforts in South Dakota to pass term limits for Congress. Under her guidance, I am confident we will get our term limits resolution passed in South Dakota."
Born and raised in Tripp County, South Dakota, Tobin graduated from Colome High School in 2001 and earned a B.S. degree in nursing from South Dakota State University in 2005. She furthered her education by obtaining a master's degree as a nurse practitioner in 2010. Tobin's political involvement began with a lobbying effort to grant full practice authority to the state's nurses, culminating in her election to the South Dakota State Senate in 2020.
In addition to her political career, Tobin works as a nurse practitioner in family and emergency room medicine, owns her own medical practice, and serves on the Rosebud Indian reservation. She is also a mother of two children, Gus and Anna.
U.S. Term Limits is the largest grassroots term limits advocacy group in the country, connecting supporters with their legislators to push for term limits at all levels of government, particularly in the U.S. Congress. For more information, visit termlimits.org.
