Rhoden Makes Lt. Governor Pick

Governor Larry Rhoden has announced Tony Venhuizen as his pick at Lieutenant Governor.

Venhuizen, who has served since 2023 as a state representative from District 13 (Lincoln and Minnehaha) and as Vice Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, says he is looking forward to serving the people of South Dakota as lieutenant governor.

Rhoden says Venhuizen is the right person for the role.

Venhuizen resigned his seat in the legislature Wednesday morning.
