South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem got an emphatic victory when the Senate removed Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg from office by convicting him of impeachment for killing a pedestrian with his car
“The friction between the governor and Ravnsborg possibly led Ravnsborg to be more diligent of a watchdog of the governor’s office,” said Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University who closely watches Statehouse politics.
“The Denny Sanford case just mysteriously went away,” said Republican House Speaker Spencer Gosch, who clashed with the governor during impeachment proceedings. The House committee that Gosch oversaw recommended against impeachment, but Noem was not deterred. Her administration pressed lawmakers to vote for impeachment, and two articles of impeachment passed by a single vote in the Republican-controlled House.
