Dear Ms. Herseth:

On behalf of the 150,000 members of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), including our members of the South Dakota Chapter, the Association's political action committee is pleased to endorse your candidacy for election to the U.S. Congress. NASW's political action committee, known as PACE, is impressed by your commitment to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

To advance our legislative priorities on behalf of social workers and the communities we serve, NASW is eager to work with you to address critical issues, such as increasing access to quality, affordable health care, including mental health and substance abuse services; providing adequate social and financial supports for low-income families and those living in poverty; and protecting civil rights.

We will encourage NASW members in the South Dakota Chapter to be involved in your campaign; and we hope that you will count on social workers as volunteers and as experts on a range of social policy issues.

Please list our organization as the National Association of Social Workers in campaign materials listing endorsements. If you do not already have chapter contacts, or should you have any questions, please contact Vered Uziel, senior political affairs associate, at NASW's National Office, at 202 408-8600, ext. 418. We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

David Dempsey
Manager, Government Relations and Political Action
