Honoring: Gov. Kristi Noem

Governor Kristi Noem is a wife, a mother, and a lifelong rancher, farmer and small business owner. In 2010, after serving in the South Dakota legislature for several years, Gov. Noem was elected to serve as South Dakota’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2018, she was elected as South Dakota’s first-ever female Governor.

“Kristi Noem is a woman that many look up to. In my art, you see the Agriculture symbol, House of Representatives symbol, the South Dakota Capitol building, the American flag, the South Dakota flag, and the South Dakota Right to Life Symbol. These are all things Governor Noem loves and stands up for.”
