Washington D.C. (September 29, 2022) – Republican lawmakers with the South Dakota Freedom Caucus were seen in Washington D.C. speaking with their national counterparts in the U.S. House Freedom Caucus this last week.
Representative Aaron Aylward, the South Dakota Freedom Caucus’s Chairman, said the meetings were very productive and indicated that they will be bringing forward several key pieces of legislation and changes to the legislature after their discussions with Congressional Freedom Caucus members and national key staff members and advisors.
One state caucus member, Representative Tina Mulally, indicated in a public statement regarding the visit that the state caucus plans to make changes in the way the state legislature has been operating, saying “We won’t be sitting on the sidelines silently any longer.”
No specific details have been released about what the state caucus is working on, but members have indicated they will be speaking with their national counterparts moving forward to bring such changes.
The South Dakota legislative session starts on January 10, 2023.
