South Dakota Governor to Lead Homeland Security Department
A Strong Border Advocate
Donald Trump confirmed Kristi Noem as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Noem has been a vocal advocate for border security. As Governor of South Dakota, she was the first to send National Guard troops to Texas to fight the border crisis. Trump praised her commitment, noting she deployed troops eight times to secure the border.
Proven Leadership Experience
Noem has extensive political experience. She served in Congress and helped pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This law put $2,400 back in the pockets of South Dakota families. In 2018, Noem became South Dakota’s first female Governor. She was re-elected in 2022 with the highest vote total in state history.
Commitment to Personal Responsibility
As Governor, Noem promoted personal responsibility. She trusted her citizens to make decisions for their families and communities. Noem emphasized the importance of keeping South Dakota “Open for Business.” Her leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed businesses to thrive while respecting individual freedoms.
A Family-Oriented Leader
Noem comes from a strong, faith-based family. She raised three children—Kassidy, Kennedy, and Booker—with her husband, Bryon. They now have three grandchildren. Noem’s family values influence her leadership and decision-making. She continues to support policies that benefit families and small businesses.
A Focus on National Security
Trump expressed confidence in Noem’s ability to work with Border Czar Tom Homan. Together, they will secure the U.S. homeland. Trump trusts Noem’s judgment and believes she will help make America safer. As DHS Secretary, Noem will continue her focus on border security and national defense.
