About

Daniel Haggar is a Sioux Falls attorney running for Minnehaha County State’s Attorney.

I have known Daniel for over fifteen years. He is an asset to the legal community and has always been a man of character. I look forward to the leadership he will bring the Minnehaha County State's Attorney's Office.

Daniel will be an exemplary State's Attorney for Minnehaha County. He has the necessary experience and passion to serve our community, but more importantly, he has the integrity. I know Daniel will serve tirelessly to do all that he can to improve public safety throughout Minnehaha County, setting a higher standard for our community and for others throughout South Dakota and the region.

It has been my honor and pleasure to know Daniel and his wife for 15 years. I have been there watching the two of them grow into a family, and I've watched Daniel grow into a lawyer. Daniel worked for my law office for two summers. He's bright, dedicated and a hard worker. I'd hire him in a heartbeat. A good public servant starts with a good person-in Daniel, the citizens of Minnehaha County have every bit of what they need.

As a former co-worker of Daniel's, I know he cares about being a good lawyer and doing good work. He brings energy and vision to every task he undertakes. If there is important work to be done, I would trust him to do it and do it well.

I have gotten to know Daniel well over the last five years. In that time, I've learned that he is a no-nonsense, driven individual with high standards and impeccable character. He's raised the bar for everyone around him. I can only imagine Daniel would bring these characteristics and influence with him to the Minnehaha County State's Attorney's Office.
