South Dakota Congressman-Elect Jackley Attends New-Member Orientation in Washington, Succeeding Four-Term Johnson
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley is in Washington attending orientation sessions for newly elected members of Congress, learning how Congress works. Jackley defeated Democrat Nikki Gronli in the November 3 midterm elections to win South Dakota's lone U.S. House seat, succeeding Dusty Johnson, who served four terms.
Jackley said orientation has brought many questions about South Dakota, touching on Mount Rushmore, pheasant hunting and Ellsworth Air Force Base. As attorney general, Jackley has long overseen law enforcement in the state, and his election moves him from state government to the U.S. Congress.
South Dakota has a single House seat, so its representative is the state's only voice in the chamber. Jackley will be sworn in when the new Congress convenes in January, when Democrats will control both the House and the Senate. After orientation, Jackley will return to South Dakota to complete the transition out of the attorney general's office.
