South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will be a keynote speaker at the annual Lincoln Reagan dinner. The Minnesota GOP made the announcement yesterday while advertising tickets for the March 12th dinner. Noem has grown her political persona within the Republican Party and is seen as a possible 2024 presidential candidate.

Minnesota Republicans held a recent winter retreat in Deadwood, South Dakota.
