Mortenson Finds Favor With Noem’s State Of The State

PIERRE, (KCCR) — Lawmakers are reacting to what they heard from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and her freedom-themed State of the State address Tuesday. House Majority Leader, District 24 Representative Will Mortenson of Fort Pierre says Noem carried a positive tone with the message…

In a post-speech interview on South Dakota Public Broadcasting, Mortenson says he was encouraged by Noem reinforcing the health of babies and mothers….

Noem did not directly address child care in her speech and Mortenson says South Dakota has worked to enhance what he calls “child care infrastructure”…

Mortenson is also in favor of the Governor working to better protect South Dakota ag land from foreign land purchases and effort to expand licensure for various professional jobs.
