Celebrating Mothers
By: Governor Kristi Noem
May 10, 2024
Being a mom and a grandma has been the biggest blessing of my life. My kids and my grandkids are motivation to get up every single day and fight for a better future for all South Dakotans.
My number one goal as Governor has always been to be able to pass down a nation that the next generation can be proud of – that my grandchildren’s grandchildren will love. With every bill that comes to my desk, every Executive Order that I sign, and every decision that I make, I always think about how it will impact the next generation.
I know I’m not the only parent that feels this way. Every mother I know inspires me because they constantly think about how the decisions they make will impact their kids’ futures. Every parent wants their kids to have a better life than they did. And we all make decisions with that goal in mind.
The mothers in our lives make sacrifices for their children constantly. They don’t get to be selfish – their kids always come first.
I have felt that unconditional love from my own mother my entire life. She taught me how God sees me, that I am “the head and not the tail,” and that I “will only be above… not underneath.” (Deuteronomy 28:13) She taught me how to be strong, how to be a leader, and how to care for other people.
I am also blessed with an incredible mother-in-law who inspires me to be a better person each day. She brings joy to everyone who knows her.
I have watched my own daughter grow into an amazing, loving, nurturing mother over the last few years. She and her husband just welcomed a third little baby into the world. I am so proud of the woman and the mother she has become.
Our state has the highest birth rate in the nation – that means we have a lot of moms in South Dakota! It warms my heart to know we have so many moms our there working hard, dedicating themselves to their families, and making our state thrive.
Mothers are the strongest, toughest people I know. First Lady Elanor Roosevelt once said, “a mom is like a teabag. You can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, I encourage you to thank the moms in your life for their strength. I want to thank all the mothers out there for all that you do to help lift your families and our entire state up.
Happy Mother’s Day, and God bless you.

“I have watched my own daughter grow into an amazing, loving, nurturing mother over the last few years. She and her husband just welcomed a third little baby into the world. I am so proud of the woman and the mother she has become.”
I will pray that she doesn’t have your personality traits. Thanks for the entertaining “book tour”!
Let’s hope your little preferred pronouns didn’t get yours…o wait, they did. My sympathies.
There’s that deflection we all love. You keep protecting the governor until Randazzo gets here, ya dingus.
Seek help for your Noem Derangement Syndrome, ya pathological nut-job.
Bless your heart!
Right back at you.
Holding people accountable is now derangement syndrome. Just no morality whatsoever in any of you Noem supporters. No wonder Trump eyed her: her base is just as oblivious as his is.
No morality? So says a member of a political party that has no problem killing unborn children.
I was a registered Republican until Trump got the nom. I am now independent and I still oppose abortion. Ok, now tell me why I should sacrifice my integrity and support a woman who has a tenuous relationship with the truth. Feel free to do the same with Trump too, scumbag.
There it is. Noem followers have gone full MAGA.
Awwww, you appear triggered. Got news for you cletus, if you have voted to re-elect Rounds, Thune, or Johnson anytime in the last 10 years you already have sold out your integrity.
“Let’s hope your little preferred pronouns didn’t get yours…o wait, they did. My sympathies.”
You’re odd and uneducated.
LOL! You don’t know squat.
I think of all the fights she’s picked with lawmakers and activists. She craps on Thune and Rounds in her book. I don’t see anyone coming to her defense. A scorched earth life leaves someone few friends when it hits the fan.
It appears very few people are friends with her or care about her. No one is coming to her defense.
It’s sad to see her political fall and everyone I talk to seems to be happy about it.
Impact upon the next generation? Maybe start with not lying about your impact, Kristi, as I assume that’s not a quality you want your grandchildren and their grandchildren to have.
Noem haters,,,,,, your phony outrage is just…………………………….
PHONY.
It’s not really phony to be upset at her for making us look like a bunch of jackasses for voting for someone that lied about meeting Macron and Kim Jung Un. To boot all of her interviews regarding the book have been utter disasters. If you think she doesn’t have a problem you’re more delusional than Wieble thinking that there’s voting fraud here.
How about you leading by example. Why dontyou start with Joe Bidens continuous string of lies?
It is great to see Governor Noem all rested from a Mother’s Day break to announce she is beginning round 2 of the Kristi Noem Self Destruction Tour. Governor you are doing a fantastic job and please do not stop!
Btw! When you are eventually done with this tour comedian Jon Lovitz would like to visit with you about a future opportunity transitioning from politics to comedy teaming up with Herschel Walker and George Santos.
Well, that was stupid.
Her book title is “No Going Back” so I guess she is determined to go full speed ahead into a brick wall. Her future political career is toast! Kaput!
