Governor Kristi Noem
500 East Capitol Pierre SD 57501
Dear Governor Noem
I ask your consideration and appointment of Melissa Mentele to the open District 19 Senate seat.
Melissa Mentele has all the qualities needed to be an outstanding senator for District 19. She is honest, well known and respected, has no prior involvement in either the Gear Up or EB 5 Fiascos, has no conflict of interest issues concerning legislative audits, is a strong supporter of family farm agriculture and small business, and is in tune with issues affecting pocket books of every South Dakota. Governor Noem once again I ask you to appoint Melissa Mentele to the District 19 Senate seat recently vacated by Stace Nelson. Her integrity and bi partisanship will serve our area and South Dakota well as a State Senator.
Sincerely;
Frank J Kloucek
