Kristi Noem is an American Republican politician who currently serves as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, a position she assumed in 2025. Her political career includes serving as the 33rd governor of South Dakota from 2019 to 2025 and representing the state's at-large congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019.

She is a notable figure in American politics, having been one of the few women to serve as a state governor and now holding a key cabinet-level position in the presidential line of succession. Her tenure has often been associated with conservative policy initiatives and a focus on issues such as border security and economic development.

Recently, Secretary Noem has been in the news in connection with leadership changes at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an agency under the Department of Homeland Security. This follows reports of the resignation of the acting FEMA administrator. Such developments are closely watched as they pertain to the management of a critical agency responsible for federal disaster response.
