ICYMI: Kristi Noem Uses State Plane for Personal Business
Throughout 2019 Kristi Noem used our state plane to crisscross the country, attend national political events, and boost her national image.
In February 2021, Democratic Senator Reynold Nesiba requested that the Attorney General look into Kristi Noem’s plane use.
The plane logs were finally released last week, and during an interview with Keloland, Kristi Noem falsely claimed she uses the state plane less than previous governors.
But here’s the truth: Former Gov. Daugaard used the state plane far fewer times in 2018 than Noem did in 2019.
And now it’s been revealed that our state plane was used to fly Kristi Noem and her family around the state to attend a family member’s wedding.
C’mon Kristi. Do you think the people of South Dakota aren’t going to notice how you’re wasting their money? Let’s be clear: South Dakotans deserve better from our leaders. It’s time to elect Democrats who won’t put their personal interests before South Dakota.
