In the first week available to U.S. House members to spend time in their constituencies, our freshman Congresswoman Kristi Noem has been here in Rapid City and available to the people. She attended the Black Hills Stock Show on Sunday, engaging any and all who wished to speak to her….no microphones, staged events or fanfare, just out among the people.
Last evening I had the pleasure to attend an event at which she spoke to the group of about 100 about her first days in office and the challenges before her and her commitment to the conservative values on which she was elected. She spoke of the commitment of the freshman class to present a deficit reducing measure each week, her significant participation in the leadership of the House and her thoughts on upcoming issues. She took questions from the floor and answered each with great honesty and sincerity.
On my way home last evening I reflected on how refreshing it was to have our Congresswoman available and engaging the people in her huge at-large district, a marked contrast from our previous representative.
Thank you, Congresswoman Noem for your service and commitment to conservative South Dakota values and your accessibility to us.
