DGA Statement on Kristi Noem Becoming the Republican Nominee for South Dakota Governor

DGA Executive Director Noam Lee released the following statement on Kristi Noem winning the Republican gubernatorial primary in South Dakota:

“Kristi Noem is a self-dealing, corrupt leader who puts herself ahead of South Dakota families. While refusing to expand Medicaid to protect rural hospitals and provide life-saving care to thousands of South Dakotans, Noem has a troubling pattern of abusing her office to help her family. And just like with other failed Republican governors, the RGA had to spend $2 million to help Noem survive her primary. Kristi Noem’s failed leadership is dragging the state backward — South Dakotans deserve better.”
