Elections

Controversies

In the 2016 session, Monroe sponsored[17] South Dakota Senate Bill 84[18] that prevents prohibiting public school teachers from presenting "the strengths and weaknesses of scientific information presented...". This bill closely follows the strategy of the Wedge strategy authored by the intelligent design think tank the Discovery Institute.

Then in the 2020 SD legislative session, Monroe promoted his self interest as a chiropractor when he sponsored SD Senate Bill 99.
