A South Dakota politician is calling for an investigation into Governor Noem's trip to Texas and a commercial.

A Democratic lawmaker in South Dakota on Wednesday called for an investigation into Republican Gov. Kristi Noem's trip to Texas for dental treatment and the creation of a promotional video in which she praises doctors for their efforts, saying "they gave me a smile I can be proud and confident in."State Sen.

Reynold Neziba at first just found the video odd, but then began to ask other questions and asked the Republican co-chairs of the Legislature's Government Operations and Audit Committee to put the issue on the agenda for the committee's next meeting in July for discussion and questions.The state senator questioned whether Noem used a state plane or state funds to travel to Texas, whether the governor paid for the dental procedure or whether it was discounted because of a promotional video.Noem's office did not respond to questions Wednesday about a promotional video posted Monday night on her personal X page in which she praises the dentists and staff at Smile Texas, a cosmetic dentistry practice in Houston.The South Dakota senator also questions whether a ban on gifts over $100 from lobbyists to public officials and their immediate family members should be banned on Noem's trip to Texas. The violation is a felony, which can carry up to a year in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.State's Attorney's Office
