Part-time Governor Kristi Noem is making clear that her full-time job is fundraising for her 2024 Presidential campaign. AP reports our frequent flyer has formed a federal political action committee, the Noem Victory Fund, to raise money for herself and other Republicans across the country:
The move means the PAC can distribute funds into elections beyond South Dakota as well as create a pot of money that could be put into a future campaign for federal office, campaign finance experts said.
Given Noem’s ascendant profile among conservatives, the federal PAC registration is “a pretty strong signal that she probably has national aspirations,” Edwin Bender, the head of The National Institute on Money in State Politics, said [Stephen Groves, “Noem’s New PAC Paves Way to Fundraise, Spread Influence,” AP, 2021.05.25].

Tom Vilsack is back. The former Secretary of Agriculture is now Ag Secretary again. He was confirmed in the Senate Tuesday in overwhelming fashion with a vote of 92-7.
Indiana Republican Mike Braun spoke with Hoosier Ag Today about Vilsack’s confirmation just prior to his vote, saying, “He’s as good as a candidate as we could get coming from that side of the aisle. He’s got a fairly proven track record.
“As long as he’s careful that he looks at some of the key issues that aren’t political: making sure farmers have access to competitive markets for all their inputs, that we keep focused on ag issues and don’t try to broaden out the farm bill which is got a large component of nutrition and other stuff in it, and then be reasonable on the conservation side of it. I think he can do a good job of that and that’s why I’m going to support him.”
