SIOUX FALLS (AP) – South Dakota Republican governor candidate Kristi Noem says state Rep. Larry Rhoden is her pick for lieutenant governor.
Noem, currently the state’s U.S. representative, said Wednesday that she chose Rhoden as her running mate because he’s “plain spoken, direct and honest.” Rhoden is a state lawmaker and rancher near Union Center and currently serves as a House majority whip.
Rhoden, who first started in the Legislature in 2001, says they have an opportunity to do “big things without raising taxes or growing government.”
Republicans will formally choose their lieutenant governor candidate Saturday at their state convention. A group of lawmakers on Tuesday endorsed Rep. Dan Kaiser to be the nominee.
Noem faces Democrat Billie Sutton, a state senator and former professional rodeo cowboy, in November. Lieutenant governor candidate Michelle Lavallee joined Sutton’s campaign last week.
