Focused on
the Dakotas
Rushmore Legacy was established with a specific geographic focus: North Dakota and South Dakota.
Rather than operating as a national political organization, Rushmore Legacy concentrates on the people, communities, elections, and public-policy issues that matter across the two states.
The organization supports center-right candidates and causes through legally permitted independent political activity.
