Remi Bald Eagle was a senior in high school when his family got indoor plumbing and electricity.
As the Democratic candidate for the Public Utilities Commission, he says it taught him just how important it is to have affordable utilities available to South Dakota families.
Bald Eagle joined the U.S. Army right out of high school. He served with the Army Engineer Regiment for 22 years.
Currently, Bald Eagle is the Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
