Thank Noem for education work

Posted: Thursday, September 22nd Filed in: Letters to the Editor

The education of our young people is necessary to give our kids the ability to compete globally. Government has a large role in the way that education is handled. South Dakota is fortunate to have Rep. Kristi Noem serve on the Education and Workforce committee in the U.S. House.

Noem is a sports mom who has three kids in school. She understands the struggles of rural education and is a great advocate for South Dakota and the country. We should all tell Noem thank you for serving our state on the education committee.

Education is essential! I am part of the post-secondary education business for 25 years; my work is as the senior vice president of Progressive Financial Services (400 employees in Arizona, Pennsylvania and South Dakota) and I serve as the chairman of the financial literacy committee for the Coalition of Higher Education Assistance Organizations.

This is our opportunity to guide the future of America's education.
