(PIERRE, SD) – South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden will name his Lieutenant Governor.
The announcement will come in the Mount Rushmore Room at the South Dakota State Capitol.
On Monday, Rhoden previewed what he’s searching for in a Lieutenant Governor.
“This individual must be loyal and honest – to me and to the people of South Dakota. My choice for Lieutenant Governor must share my commitment to keep South Dakota strong, safe, and free,” said Governor Rhoden. “He or she must be a strong partner who will provide me with wisdom, counsel, and help steer us in the right direction. And he or she must be ready to take over in the event I am no longer able to serve as Governor – it’s happened before!”
Rhoden succeeds Governor Kristi Noem, who was confirmed as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security earlier this week.
