SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Gov. Kristi Noem is one step closer to winning another term as governor of South Dakota.
The first-term Republican governor defeated challenger Steve Haugaard in Tuesday’s primary election, winning her party’s nomination.
Noem, a Castlewood native, rose from a state legislator to representing South Dakota in the U.S. House in 2010. She won the governorship in 2018 by defeating Democrat Billie Sutton with 51% of the vote.
Another Trump endorsement that wins.
She won with over 76% of the vote. One headline I saw said she ‘survived’ the primary. This story doesn’t mention her margin of victory.
Noem should coast to victory in November. The voters of SD will reward her for protecting them from COVID overreach.
Fine by me.
