Tony Bartholomaus

Tony is first and most importantly a husband and father of two. His family is his strength and greatest joy. He has a beautiful wife Ashley, who is a successful Realtor. Two sons Nolan(6) and Lincoln(3). “There is always some sort of excitement going on at our house.”

He was educated in the Midwest at Winona State University in lovely Winona MN. He has lived in Rochester MN and Minneapolis as well, but now calls Sioux Falls his home. “Sioux Falls is the perfect place to raise a family. Good schools, Good people, the town has everything you need, and family friendly.”

“My goal I to make Sioux Falls an even better place to live. The longevity of the city and the county is important to me and my family. As auditor my goal is to help get the county back on track fiscally. We need to find new means of income that won’t burden the home owners with more taxes, we need to spend wisely, and make sure every area of county governance is held accountable.”

He has years of experience in the financial sector. Working with budgets, credit, and finance is his day to day job. “The success of the county moving forward is going to depend on the financial stability of the county. Understanding finance is a must for this position.”

Putting extra time and effort is a trademark for Tony. Each week he puts in extra hours to make sure his clients and customers needs are being met. This work ethic wont change when he begins working for the county. “Getting things back on track in the Auditor’s office is going to take a lot of work, but for the citizens of Minnehaha County it’s a job that needs to get done.”

Tony believes that every ones’ vote is important. ” The mistakes in the election process need to stop. Confidence in the electoral process needs to be restored. Minnehaha County has the best people helping with elections, the leadership and vision is what is lacking.” – Help me change this by voting in November.

Thank you for interest in my candidacy.
