Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party, the 2015 South Dakota House Republicans have elected Kris Langer, from Dell Rapids, as one of four Republican Whips.

The Whips assist the leadership in managing the party’s legislative program on the floor of the House and provides information to party members about important legislative-related matters. The Whips keep track of all politically important legislation and ensure that all members of their parties are present when important measures are to be voted upon. When a vote appears to be close, the Whips contact absent members of their party and advise them of the vote.

Congratulations Kris.
