SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Gov. Kristi Noem made two appointments to the Legislature on Monday, tapping Rep. Kyle Schoenfish, R-Scotland, for a Senate seat and naming Marty Overweg of New Holland to fill Schoenfish’s seat.
Schoenfish will fill the Senate vacancy from Stace Nelson’s resignation.
All are Republicans.
Noem has appointed replacements for six lawmakers who left the Legislature in the last year. The 2020 legislative session starts next week, and all seats are currently filled.
The governor said both Schoenfish and Overweg “have excellent records of service.”
