A bill counts for the member who introduced it, its prime sponsor in its own chamber; the prime sponsor a bill names in the other chamber isn't counted. Many South Dakota bills are introduced by a committee and count for no one.

Bills that passed both chambers

None of the bills Brandon Wipf sponsored passed both chambers.

Budget projects

South Dakota's appropriation bills don't say which legislator asked for an item, so there's no budget figure for South Dakota legislators.
