Kristi Noem<\/a><\/span> built a national profile during the COVID-19 pandemic, had fellow Republicans buzzing about her future, and published two political memoirs in three years. Lawmakers describe the man set to replace her as a friendly, plain-spoken rancher and specialty welder whom they expect to focus more on issues within the state.<\/p>\n<p>Lt. Gov. Larry Rhoden\u2019s biggest \u2014 and fleeting \u2014 brush with national fame came in 2017 when he triggered a panic alarm during a hearing to test how quickly police would arrive to support his argument that people should be allowed to carry guns in the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s now receiving bipartisan praise as a South Dakota-focused conservative well-versed in how the state\u2019s Republican-dominated Legislature works.<\/p>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-transition-white-house-staff-huckabee-f51121db5b18814bbab014e872c2a736\">announced Tuesday<\/a><\/span> he would nominate Noem, 52, as the next U.S. homeland security secretary. If the Senate confirms Noem, Rhoden would automatically become governor. It\u2019s unclear how quickly that could happen.<\/p>\n<p>Noem\u2019s first memoir says Rhoden took her under his wing in 2006 when she won a seat in the South Dakota House where he was serving as majority leader. He served in the Legislature for 16 years. Noem described Rhoden as \u201cdirect and honest\u201d when she named him to her ticket for governor in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Others describe the 65-year-old, operates a custom welding business producing cattle brands, as a true western South Dakota rancher. In his photo on the governor\u2019s office website, he wears a leather jacket and cowboy hat. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s legitimately legit,\u201d said Republican state Rep. Greg Jamison, of Sioux Falls, one of five House majority whips, calling Rhoden \u201ca real reflection on South Dakota and how anybody from across the country would perceive our state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rhoden pledged Wednesday to keep working closely with Noem through the expected transition but neither of them provided details. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KristiNoem\/status\/1856500940628439375\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noem posted<\/a><\/span> on social media that she is honored and humbled by Trump\u2019s appointment, and Rhoden predicted that she will be an excellent homeland security secretary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have worked with Gov. Noem for decades, first as a legislator and for the last six years as her lieutenant governor,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cI have seen her leadership transform this state to advance freedom and opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rhoden is considered a possible Republican candidate for governor in 2026, when Noem would have been term-limited. U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson and state Attorney General Marty Jackley also are possible contenders. <\/p>\n<p>State lawmakers do not expect big policy shifts once Rhoden takes office: Like Noem, he embodies the socially conservative, small-government Republican common in Plains and western states. But they don\u2019t expect him to spend any time focusing on national politics like his predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Rhoden has always been more visible in the state capital of Pierre, Jamison said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLarry is often seen in the hallways around the Capitol and at different events. He attends a lot of them. I see him all the time socializing with everybody. Gov. Noem was a little more out of sight in that fashion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a guy who was on the school board and then ran for the Legislature and did that for a long time and rose up through the ranks,\u201d Jamison said.<\/p>\n<p>Retiring state Sen. Lee Schoenbeck, the top GOP leader in the Senate, said Rhoden is a good problem solver but more importantly he\u2019s a \u201cSouth Dakota kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis interests will all be within the (state\u2019s) 605 area code,\u201d Schoenbeck said.<\/p>\n<p>Term-limited House Speaker Hugh Bartels agreed Rhoden would offer a distinct type of leadership. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh yeah. I think there will be differences in style,\u201d Bartels said. \u201cThey\u2019re just different people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before Noem, perhaps the two best-known political figures from South Dakota were Democrats: former U.S. Sen. George McGovern, the party\u2019s 1972 presidential nominee, and former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.

He warned that \u201cMr. Rhoden may face fights simply of guilt by association.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But lawmakers generally praised Rhoden for his ability to build alliances and work across the aisle. <\/p>\n<p>Republican state Rep.
