WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today issued the following statement on the passing of Senator Jim Abdnor:
“South Dakota lost a great leader and committed servant with the passing of Jim Abdnor. I always viewed Jim as a humble man of great integrity. He served our state and nation in many capacities, including State Senator, Lieutenant Governor, Congressman, U.S. Senator and Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Jim has left a legacy South Dakotans can be proud of. Bryon, Kassidy, Kennedy, Booker and I send our deepest condolences to the Abdnor family. They will be in our thoughts and prayers.”
