Kristi Lynn Noem is the U.S. Representative for South Dakota’s at-large congressional district, serving since January 2011.

U.S. Representative Kristi Noem is a wife, a mother, and an experienced rancher, farmer, and small business owner. Kristi was born and raised in rural Hamlin County in northeastern South Dakota and still lives there today with her husband, Bryon, and their three children, Kassidy, Kennedy, and Booker.
