In 2018 Alexandra “Alex” Frederick ran a valiant race for Secretary of State for South Dakota in 2019, but didn’t come out on top.
Alex is a jack of all trades and would never say she is a master of any; her Lakota name is A.po Iyokpi Wi.. She is a mother and wife too boot. She is active in many areas in her community. Recently she was selected by Racing Magpie to participate in an artist in residency through social media via virtual teleconferences. Alex is no stranger to Racing Magpie’s many artists compilations; she has participated in POP: Native People of the Plains event held in Rapid City as one of many designers featured in the model and clothing designer’s category.
