In this episode of Who Is, we explore Kristi Noem's journey in politics. She is the governor of South Dakota known for her strong religious beliefs and affinity for firearms. Despite this plea, her support for toddlers owning rifles remains at the forefront of controversies.
Kristi started her political career in 2007, winning a seat in South Dakota's House of Representatives. During her tenure, she focused on facilitating gun purchases and ownership. In 2010, she triumphed in the Republican primary despite her her opponent, Democrat Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, emphasizing that Kristi's driving record was an issue of concern. The record detailed a shocking tally which included 20 speeding tickets, 3 stop sign violations, 2 seat belt infractions, no driver's license, 6 court notices for failure to appear, and 2 arrest warrants.
After serving 4 terms in the U.S. House, where she supported policies seen as harmful to lower-income residents in her state, Kristi became South Dakota's first woman governor, and further won re-election in 2022. Her priorities included strict anti-abortion laws, loosening gun rules, controversial spending on the governor's mansion, and allegedly abusing her office's influence during her daughter's real estate appraiser license application. Controversies have been abundant around Kristi Noem's NRA speech, Kristi Noem's speech, Kristi Noem's Sturgis 2023, Kristi Noem's ad, Kristi Noem on Saturday Night Live (SNL), Kristi Noem's South Dakota commercial, and Kristi Noem guns.
One of the standout moments of Kristi's term was her unconventional campaign called 'Meth. We're on it.' This campaign, backed by $449,000 in funding, aimed to address meth-related issues in South Dakota.
In a controversial move, following the death of Henry Kissinger, Kristi suggested honoring his memory by quoting him to children during car rides. This proposal raised eyebrows given Kissinger's statements regarding women and his views on international matters.
Kristi's future trajectory remains uncertain, with speculation that she might consider running as Trump's vice president. Newsmax featured Kristi Noem's interview where she openly expressed eagerness to join his ticket for Kristi Noem 2024.
