Noem & GOP “Money Laundering” with Joint Fundraising Committee

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Last week we learned Congresswoman Noem would be calling on help from Washington to save her political career — breaking her own campaign finance pledge in the process.

In response to Noem using a self-professed loophole to break her pledge to voters with the help of the South Dakota Republican Party, Executive Director of the South Dakota Democratic Party Sam Parkinson said:

“Last fall, the South Dakota Republican Party called joint fundraising agreements ‘a straight money laundering scheme, period.’ This fall, in danger of losing her race for governor, Rep. Kristi Noem’s campaign partnered with the Republican Party to create a joint fundraising agreement committee to allow donors attending her fundraiser with Donald Trump to donate $23,000 to her campaign — even though the legal limit for individual contributions to a statewide campaign is $4,000. Noem and the Republican Party say one thing and do another. This is just another example of establishment politicians believing they can follow a different set of rules than everyone else.”
