Ben Kyte Seeks Election to Minnehaha County Auditor
Sioux Falls, SD – Ben Kyte, currently serving as Minnehaha County Auditor, announces his plans to seek election to the office in 2022. When Auditor Bob Litz announced his plans to retire in 2020, Kyte was unanimously selected by the Minnehaha County Commission to serve the remainder of the Litz’s term. Now, Kyte will seek election to a full term.
“I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to serve the county. My experience in the financial industry has been valuable in guiding the office during the change in tenure and in modernizing the systems and procedures to create more efficiency,” said Kyte.
Kyte is a veteran of the financial management industry, having worked at Citibank for 37 years, overseeing finance and analytical processes for the large institution.
Kyte has been an active member of the community and is a member of the City of Sioux Falls Investment Advisory Board, City of Sioux Falls Employee Retirement System Board of Trustees, board member of Active Generations, and the First Lutheran Church Foundation. Kyte has also served on the boards of the Sioux Falls Development Foundation, South Dakota DevelopmentCorporation, Downtown Economic Development Incentive Fund, University of South Dakota Foundation, and Investment Committee. Kyte has also served as a volunteer tax preparer with Tax-Aide, an AARP-supported organization, for 10+ years and is a 1999 graduate of Leadership Sioux Falls.
Kyte and his wife, Chris, have lived in Sioux Falls for 38 years and enjoy spending time with their two children and five grandchildren.
