Noem to Launch Kickstart the Economy Tour Monday

WATERTOWN, S.D. – Kristi Noem will launch her Kickstart the Economy Touron Monday, March 26, highlighting her agenda to get South Dakota’s economy booming again. During the tour, Noem will meet with a number of students, job creators, and young professionals.

“South Dakota does a lot of things right, but our economy is falling behind,” said Noem in announcing the tour. “In fact, in the latest Bureau of Economic Analysis report, South Dakota ranked last for both GDP and personal income growth. We can do better. As governor, my goal will be to kickstart our economy – and not through more boards, commissions, or blue ribbon committees. Instead, I will lift the government burden from entrepreneurs, make it easier to work, and create new opportunities for South Dakotans to prosper.”

  1. If Kristi wanted to kickstart the economy maybe she shouldn’t have supported the omnibus. (Yes, she technically voted against its passage, but that was only after she supported bringing it to the floor. 25 House Republicans voted against bringing the measure to the floor; Kristi didn’t join them. Kristi wanted this to pass.)

    1. Apparently they only needed the help of three more members to block a floor vote. Kristi stabbed conservatives in the back.

    2. The vote you’re referring to was on the rules for debate, not the spending bill. So, you want Kristi to start voting with Nancy Pelosi and the Dems to set the rules of debate for the House? Noem voted NO on the spending bill. Pelosi voted YES.

    3. Apparently you have no concept of how things actually work in DC…

      If you want to get things passed in DC, you need to support the process of getting things to the floor.

      It’s seen as going against Republican leadership and the party if you vote against bringing something to the floor without running it by, at least leadership, first. Which could ultimately hurt your ambitions of ever bringing forward stand alone legislation.

      Once they’re on the floor you can vote however you like.

      Secondly- it costs the tax payers more money to shut down and then restart the government than it would to continuously fund the government.

      Are you for veterans and seniors not getting services or benefits they need? Are you against wasting less money? Are you for interruptions in service? Don’t forget POTUS threatened to veto the omnibus before he signed it.

      Learn the process and how things actually work as well- it will save you some time when you decide to sit down on the keyboard and Monday morning quarterback.

      1. “Shutting down the government isn’t the end of the world, however, because “if you measure it in terms of the dollars out the door, about 83 percent of the government stays open in a government shutdown,” Mick Mulvaney said. “Social Security checks go out, military still exists. The FBI still chases bad guys. I think the consequences have been blown out of proportion.” – The Daily Caller.

        “Department of Veterans Affairs officials say former service members will see no change in their health benefits – including those involving hospital visits and other doctors’ appointments.” – The Monitor. The veteran’s health-care system has advance appropriations so not to interrupt services.

        I don’t want to waste my money or time either, but you should also take more time to learn the process. I would have preferred not to continue funding the baby body-parts mill or DACA. Shut down the govt if need be.

    1. Nice try. Noem is home meeting with South Dakotans and traveling across the state whenever Congress is out of session and has done that since she took office. Just more desperation from Jackley’s losing campaign.

    2. Kinda like how Marty hangs out in the Capitol all day? Well, except when he has to do KELO interviews about how he cost SD at least $1.2 million when he ignored a harassment claim.

      “After her demotion and transfer, Kaiser appealed to agency Director Bryan Gortmaker and Jackley for reinstatement, but Jackley denied the grievance. She filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and then the lawsuit in 2015. Last week, a jury awarded her at least $1.2 million”

  2. more republicans are going to be damaged by angry but unelectable tea party primary challengers than are going to be turned out by democrats this fall. watch and see.

  3. Kristi and Paul Ryan are buds. He gives her plum assignments and she does as she’s told. Kristi is what’s known as a ladder climber.

  4. Which government burden (that the state has placed) will she lift? Seems to me like the only burdens have been placed by the federal govt (internet sales tax, provision in tax cut bill that favors co-ops over individual producers.) She’s had so long to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING, but she only cares when she’s up for election.

    Sad because I had such high hopes when I voted for her in 2010

    1. Slow down and look at the economic platform she launched this week – talks about getting rid of licensing burdens and other nonsense regulations.

      Also she was instrumental in writing both tax reform and when the co-op issue was identified as a drafting error, she was key in writing a fix. She’s one of two or three farmers on the tax writing Ways & Means Committee, so her insight is really important for ag.

  5. If Kristi Noem actually cared about addressing young professionals, affordable housing, or education she’d be holding meetings where the majority of those individuals are: Sioux Falls. She also wouldn’t schedule them during the middle of a weekday to meet with a select few. As a sitting congresswoman this is gross dereliction of current duties for cheap self-promotion.

  6. Wow. Such nonsensical attacks. Jackley is running such a mean spirited campaign. You would think he would have something substantive to say instead of just spewing venom at Noem.

      1. Yes. Today he said she should’ve voted with Pelosi against the rules for debate in the House and accused her of voting for the spending bill that she voted against. He lies about lying about her record on a regular basis. Recently he was in a meeting I attended in Sioux Falls (gasp!) on ethanol issues where he personally, specifically, and falsely attacked her record on the issue. He’s running a negative campaign while denying that he’s doing so.

        1. Noem is crushing it in Congress and Marty is screwing up practically every part of his job. Literally the same day Kristi stood next to President Trump when he held his tax reform press conference, Marty was in a KELO interview talking about how he cost the state a million dollars by ignoring a harassment claim.

          But hey at least he has nice shorts.

    1. Marty Jackley is deeply involved in every corruption scandal plaguing South Dakota from EB-5, GEAR UP, Global Aquaponics, and so on. At what point will the South Dakota press stop giving this guy a break? He’s at the center of every corruption scandal we’ve been through for the last 6 years or more.

      1. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaa *pause for breath* hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhajahahahahah

        Alex Jones called, he wants his tin foil hat back

      2. Last night I gave Marty some flak about his failure to resurrect and prosecute dead people. They need to be more dead.
        .
        I didn’t know he had anything to do with the Brookings fish farm or I would have asked him about that.
