I moved back to SD for quality of schools; focus on that

Williams made the announcement [of his Senate candidacy]: "My family and I moved back to South Dakota for the quality of the schools and the sense of community. I'm afraid our young people and those considering a move to South Dakota wouldn't make the same choice to raise a family in our great state today. We need a Senator focused on the priorities that matter to South Dakotans," said Williams. Source: KDLT-TV on 2015 South Dakota Senate race , Feb 19, 2016
