Rep. Dusty Johnson talks South Dakota leaders in D.C.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Following the election, President-elect Donald Trump and other politicians in Washington D.C. made last week a big one for South Dakota leaders.
It all started when Trump announced Governor Kristi Noem would be appointed to serve as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday, then on Wednesday Senator John Thune was elected to be the Senate majority leader.
South Dakota Representative Dusty Johnson said he spoke with the President-elect on Wednesday morning and had a chance to discuss Noem and her appointment.
“The President seemed pumped to have her on board and he has a pretty bold vision for this country,” Johnson said.
Johnson added that he believed Noem would be a great Secretary of Homeland Security. Johnson also said he believes Thune will do well in his new position.
“John Thune works hard, he is trusted by his Republican colleagues. It is a major accomplishment to be selected to be the leader of the United States Senate. This is the second time in just a generation that South Dakota has had the Senate majority leader. I think it says a lot about how our hardy prairie, and mountain folks are able to go out to Washington D.C. and make a difference,” Johnson said.
Johnson said he believes it will be an exciting next few months in Washington.

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – A man now faces a charge of third-degree sexual abuse in Northwest Iowa.
On June 6, at about 5 p.m., authorities say 24-year-old John Chambers, a transient from Brandon, SD, received the charge after he was taken into custody by law enforcement.
Court documents state Chambers was arrested for an incident that took place at a home in Sioux City.
Court documents point out that Chambers came to Sioux City to meet with a 15-year-old girl after they met on social media. Law enforcement says Chambers and the teenager were speaking via social media for about three weeks before deciding to meet up.
Authorities say Chambers traveled to the teen’s home, where he met the 15-year-old’s family.
Chambers was arrested several days later on Monday, June 15, and booked into the Woodbury County Jail on a $20,000 bond. After being arrested, authorities say Chambers admitted to having sexual relations with the teen.
A judge has scheduled a preliminary hearing for Chambers on Friday, June 26, at 9 a.m. at the Law Enforcement Center.
