A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirements, experts say.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

    Didn’t we recently find out from some leaks or disclosures that you can essentially buy some politicians for as low as $10K? I can’t remember the source right now

      Yes, but you need access to get them for such a price. You can’t just walk in off the street with $10k and buy one afaik.

        Of course not. There are rules. You have to be a white male, for example.

        Or, a russian female. Also good.
