I am officially announcing my campaign for the 2026 South Dakota District 16 House of Representatives.


I am currently serving in the South Dakota House, Representing District 16 and am seeking reelection.


I serve on the agriculture and natural resources committee, the transportation committee, and the veterans affairs committee. I have always been drawn to serving my community and my country. I served the district through military service, agricultural boards, youth coaching, and church leadership. I am running to bring service-driven, common-sense leadership to Pierre.


I grew up as the son of a farmer in Turner County and I now operate a diversified grain and livestock operation with my family. After completing a 20 year Marine Corps career — earning honors including the Bronze Star Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, and Combat Action Ribbon — I returned home to continue serving as a head track coach and a leader in a growing church in Centerville.


  • Strengthening South Dakota agriculture---Protecting family farms, supporting next-generation producers, and cutting unnecessary regulation.

  • Supporting veterans and first responders---Ensuring those who serve have access to the resources and respect they deserve.

  • Defending strong families and local communities---Upholding South Dakota values and keeping decisions close to home.

  • Promoting responsible budgeting and limited government---Keeping taxes low, spending transparent, and priorities focused on the people.

I love this state and the communities that make up district 16. I live between Centerville and Beresford with my wife and 4 kids. I remain active in agriculture, athletics, and community service. I look forward to meeting with voters across Lincoln, Turner, and Union counties in the coming weeks.


I would be honored to have your support during the Republican primary on June 2. You can find me on Facebook and Instagram


Representative John Shubeck

South Dakota District 16
