GOP Looks to Add Female Governor in South Dakota
Kristi Noem
After serving four terms in Congress, Representative Kristi Noem (R-SD) knows how Washington works. She also understands the limitations of legislating from afar, and recognizes that many issues cannot be solved from Capitol Hill. This realization led Noem to rethink her role in government and enter the South Dakota gubernatorial race.
“We can’t fix this country from Washington, D.C.,” Noem said. “It’s going to take a few strong governors to reform their programs, to better take care of people, and to set the example for what really can be accomplished at the state level.”
One of the top issues Noem hopes to tackle from the statehouse is human trafficking.
Throughout her tenure in Congress, Noem has worked to end human trafficking at the national level. In March, she cosponsored the bipartisan Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, which was signed into law by President Trump on April 11. While this legislation will save the lives of trafficking victims nationally, Noem knows there is more work to be done at the local level.
“The big deception about human trafficking is that no one thinks it happens in their communities,” Noem said. “People don’t realize that we have this problem at home.”
As a member of the South Dakota legislature from 2006-2011, Noem learned first-hand the impact that local representatives can make. After eight years in Washington, she looks forward to working more closely on local issues once again—this time as South Dakota’s chief executive.

Women in the GOP
Women have played a key role in the Republican Party since its establishment in 1854.
The Republican Party and Republican women were the primary force behind the women's suffrage movement and the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Republican women have made history as the first women to serve in key positions, including Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress.
Republican women such as Carla Sands (pictured) continue to explore uncharted territory on behalf of all women. Last November, Sands was confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to Denmark. Read more about Sands

RNC Releases New “Women of the GOP” Video
WASHINGTON – Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) released a new web video, “Women of the GOP,” highlighting some of the Party’s exceptional female candidates this November. This video is part of the RNC’s “Taking Back The Future” initiative, encouraging more Republican women to get involved in the political process.
“I applaud the highly-motivated, Republican women that are running on the ballot this year,” said Co-Chairman Sharon Day. “These candidates lead Americans to engage their communities, take initiative, and affect change. They advocate for a range of issues that matter most to women, from national security to healthcare, from jobs to education. These empowering women recognize that this election is too important and how much is at stake.”
