Representative Keri Weems Announces Re-Election Campaign for District 11 House
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Today, Representative Keri Weems announced her campaign for re-election to the South Dakota House of Representatives in District 11, citing her commitment to public service, proven legislative experience, and record of delivering for her constituents.
“I’m running for re-election because District 11 deserves experienced leadership that listens, shows up, and delivers,” said Weems. “Our best days are still ahead, and I’m ready to keep working for you.”
Weems previously served three terms in the State House from 2003 to 2008 and brings a strong record of service. Her legislative work has focused on keeping taxes low, making government more efficient, supporting local decision authority, strengthening public education, improving public safety, and investing in infrastructure that keeps communities connected and growing.
Her professional background includes leadership roles in both the private and nonprofit sectors, where she has earned a reputation for integrity, collaboration, and steady leadership in difficult situations. She has worked closely with local organizations, small businesses, and families to strengthen economic opportunity, expand access to essential services, and support initiatives that improve quality of life.
Weems lives in Sioux Falls with her husband, Jay. Together, they have three adult children. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, she remains deeply engaged in her community by volunteering her time and supporting local organizations and causes.
District 11 includes the west side of Sioux Falls, stretching from I-29 nearly to Tea-Ellis Road, and from 57th Street north to 12th Street.
Absentee voting begins on April 17, 2026, and the Republican Primary Election will be held on June 2, 2026.
