Meet the Legislator

Karla J. Lems

South Dakota House of Representatives

District:
16
Party:
Republican

What is your top priority for the upcoming 2023 Legislative Session?

My top priority for the 2023 legislative session is two-fold: election integrity and eminent domain. Both of these are non-partisan issues that affect South Dakotans. As a legislator, I understand the authority given to me comes from the SD Constitution. I will strive to defend the foundational freedoms of this country and state while representing my constituents in District 16.
