Group calls SD Gov. Kristi Noem the nation’s “best”, others say she’s the worst
Conservative group tied to major corporate interests, the American Legislative Exchange Council, gave South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem an award this week for being what they think is the “best” Governor in the country. While others point to her record as one of the country’s worst.
In 2020, during the early part of the China virus pandemic, Kristi Noem became a nationwide sensation overnight when she claimed to buck the trend of COVID shutdown orders and declared, “South Dakota is open for business.” She even claimed that South Dakota “never shut down” for COVID.
