South Dakota House Majority Leader and District 24 Republican Representative Will Mortenson of Fort Pierre will run for re-election next year.
Mortenson says for the last three years, he’s brought a “common sense, conservative approach to the Legislature.” He says he’s worked hard, been willing to take firm stands and always kept his focus on improving South Dakota for generations to come.
During his time in the legislature, Mortenson has been a recognized leader in supporting education, cutting taxes and fighting for ag producers and landowners. He plans to preview the 2024 legislative session and discuss his re-election bid at a campaign kick-off event Thursday (Dec. 14, 2023) from 5–7pm at the St. Charles Lounge on Capitol Avenue in Pierre. All interested voters are welcome.
Mortenson, 35, is an ag business and estate planning attorney in Fort Pierre. He is active in the family cow-calf operation in northwestern Stanley County. Mortenson is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and a lifelong resident of central South Dakota. He and his wife, Shuree, live in Fort Pierre with their two children, Augie and Jules.
District 24 includes Haakon, Hughes, Hyde, Stanley, and Sully counties.
