I’ve updated the SD State Legislators list (available in the menu above) with the results from the leadership elections recently held.
I believe these results have already been reported by other political blogs in the state. But, for anyone that wants to know who was elected to legislative leadership positions, here are the results of the caucus meetings:
2017-2018 Senate Majority Leadership
If I understand the President Pro Tempore correctly, this is not actually elected until the full Senate is in session and the Democrats get their votes. It is unlikely to change though.
President Pro Tempore: Sen Brock Greenfield (R, Dist 2)
Majority Leader: Sen Blake Curd (R, Dist 12)
Assistant Majority Leader: Sen Ryan Maher (R, Dist 28)
Majority Whip: Sen Kris Langer (R, Dist 25)
Majority Whip: Sen Al Novstrup (R, Dist 3)
Majority Whip: Sen Bob Ewing (R, Dist 31)
2017-2018 Senate Minority Leadership
Minority Leader: Sen Billie Sutton (D, Dist 21)
Assistant Minority Leader: Sen Troy Heinert (D, Dist 26)
Minority Whip: Sen Jason Frerichs (D, Dist 1)
2017-2018 House Majority Leadership
If I understand the two Speaker positions correctly, these are not actually elected until the full House is in session and the Democrats get their votes. It is unlikely to change though.
Speaker of the House: Rep Mark Mickelson (R, Dist 13)
Speaker Pro Tempore: Rep Don Haggar (R, Dist 10)
Majority Leader: Rep Lee Qualm (R, Dist 21)
Assistant Majority Leader: Rep Kent Peterson (R, Dist 19)

Majority Whip: Rep Leslie Heinemann (R, Dist 8)
