(Hamill, S.D.) – Rancher and educator Wyatt DeJong announces his Republican candidacy for District 21 South Dakota House of Representatives.

District 21 includes the counties of Aurora, Charles Mix, Douglas, Gregory and Tripp.

DeJong and his wife Zana are the parents of two young boys and ranch with his family near Hamill, S.D. The graduate of South Dakota State University (SDSU) brings experience as a rancher, educator and leader in the Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization as he prepares to represent constituents of District 21.

Today, DeJong is part of his family’s operation, DeJong Ranch, established in 1948. He credits his faith, family and upbringing for shaping his commitment to service.

“With deep roots in agriculture and a passion for developing future leaders, I’m running to ensure South Dakota remains a place where families can thrive, communities can grow and the next generation is prepared to lead,” said DeJong.

  1. He is a good solid young man with a combination of agriculture and teaching. Backed by a solid family

  2. Wyatt is an amazing individual! Very few individuals have the leadership experience and skills that he has. I’ve known him ever since he was a National FFA Officer. For reference, being a National FFA Officer is a huge deal in agriculture. Only four South Dakotans have ever been selected to serve. District 21 would be incredibly blessed to have him in the Legislature.
