Published reports on 9/15/2023 suggest that she has been having a longstanding affair with Corey Lewandowski. This is significant because she portrays herself as a family values politician and because it might affect a decision to nominate her as Trump's VP running mate in 2024. This should be added. 24.151.28.29 ( talk) 18:27, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Came here to learn about how Noem treats animals, only to find massive amounts of irrelevant material. Viriditas ( talk) 23:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Noem has admitted in her self authored book to killing both a 15 month old puppy and a family pet goat because they were "untrainable" and "aggressive". Noem also admits not training either animal. 2604:2D80:5907:C400:70A9:ECC0:8DE4:ACBB ( talk) 01:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

It's odd that Noem and her defenders like to talk up her "farm", but there is little to nothing said about it here except that her father died there. It was apparently a 9,700-acre ranch that Noem inherited. She received more than $4 million in government subsidies for the ranch before she "cashed out" in 2017 so it isn't even clear that the claims about her running a "farm" where she killed her dog and goat are even true. ("Between 1995 and 2016, her family-owned Racota Valley Ranch in Hazel, S.D. cashed $3,704,415 million in government farm subsidies. In 2012 alone, they accepted $232,707 in subsidies.") I wonder what South Dakota taxpayers would think about the millions Noem received in a state where the minimum wage is $11.20 per hour. For what it is worth, it appears that Noem is on record as being against subsidies for anyone other than herself. Once again, the same story plays out: socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. Viriditas ( talk) 20:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
The Article is broken into different sections after the intro. First listing Early life and Education, then listing South Dakota House of Representatives, and U.S. House of Representatives. In the later, sub sections of dates representing those elections are listed. Then another sub section of Tenure is listed. After a detailed account of her tenure there are listed topics such as Abortion, Energy and environment, Foreign Affairs, etc. With a an explanation of her stance on each.
The same is repeated for Governor of South Dakota.
It would make more sense to have another sub-section each after under Tenure, such as "Platforms", "Stances", "Bills Voted On", or even "Controversies".
Sorry if this is the wrong place to list this and obvious lack of knowledge of Wikipedia nomenclature regarding structure. 2604:2D80:5907:C400:219A:5C99:5E0C:F44B ( talk) 00:42, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
This incident seems much more relevant than others that have a dedicated section. Including Conflict of interest action to professionally benefit daughter, Fireworks at Mount Rushmore lawsuit, Governor's mansion spending, "Meth. We're on It" campaign and others. While all sections have seemingly shaped her stances and gave insight to character, this appears to be defining a part of her career and possibly losing the chance at a VP nod. Obviously if it doesn't revisions can be made then but for now it seems to be very much front facing in all media. 2604:2D80:5907:C400:F9F1:AFC5:3BDC:B240 ( talk) 00:22, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Living in rural South Dakota, Noem is also a farmer and a rancher.[2] Noem published first autobiography, Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland in 2022.[3] Later in 2024, in her second autobiography, No Going Back, Noem mentioned about an incident involving shooting her untrainable dog [2][4] and defended it as a "tough decision".[4][5]
Noem reportedly discussed killing her "untrainable" 14-month old dog that she "hated", while publicly defending her action as being that of a "responsible owner". (1) "reportedly" because the book chapter has not been publicly released yet, this is the Guardian's reporting. (2) changed "tough decision" because it was vague, perhaps "responsible owner" is more descriptive. (3) provided age of dog and feeling towards dog. starship .paint ( RUN) 08:39, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Monthly views - April 2024 is the month with the most views dating to the start of counting in 2015. Meanwhile May 2024 is already the third or fourth highest viewed month, and will probably become the most viewed month in less than a week. No Going Back certainly seems like the biggest thing of her political career so far. starship .paint ( RUN) 14:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Cpotisch ( talk · contribs) has made the decision to move the Cricket story from the "personal life" section to the "guns" section under her gubernatorial tenure. This to me seems very misguided. Yes, the story does involve a gun but it has nothing to do with her positions or actions on gun rights as a governor. If anything it would be more relevant to animal rights, but I don't see it as being really related to her governorship at all. 203.211.79.75 ( talk) 05:32, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
In the article here: /info/en/?search=Kristi_Noem#No_Going_Back it states that Governor Noem decided to kill her goat. However according to the sources listed she then took her goat to the gravel pit where she shot her dog and shot her goat twice as well. Seems prurient to add that she followed through on her decision. 2601:2C3:800:B080:94FC:772:A71D:F5B8 ( talk) 19:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
