Larry Rhoden is a man whose heart is rooted in South Dakota. As a fourth-generation South Dakotan, rancher, and public servant, Larry understands the tough, rugged spirit that defines this state. His leadership is grounded in the values of hard work, integrity, and personal freedom—values that have guided him through years of service in the State Legislature and as Lieutenant Governor. Now, as Governor, Larry is committed to keeping South Dakota strong, safe, and free, ensuring that every South Dakotan has the opportunity to succeed.

With a vision as broad as the South Dakota prairie and as high as the Black Hills, Larry is ready to face the challenges ahead with the same grit and determination that have been passed down through generations. His approach is simple: empower South Dakotans to take control of their future, protect individual freedoms, and keep South Dakota open for opportunity across every corner of the state.
