Dell Rapids, SD - September 8, 2025 – Nikki Gronli, small business owner and former State Director for USDA Rural Development, today announced her candidacy for South Dakota’s lone U.S. House seat. Gronli will formally launch her campaign on Wednesday, September 10 at 1:30 PM at Holiday Inn City Centre, Skyline Room, 100 W 8th St., Sioux Falls. “I’ve listened to South Dakotans across the state, and their struggles are real,” Gronli said. “Families are being squeezed by tariffs, inflation, and skyrocketing health care costs while our leaders look the other way.
