Kristi Noem in First GOP presidential debate


On Jobs: AdWatch: S.D. accepts out-of-state professional licenses

Gov. Kristi Noem launched a new ad as part of the "Freedom Works Here" nationwide workforce recruitment campaign: "Bright Side" [aired during the first Republican presidential debate]:

[Narration by Gov. Noem with the Governor inspecting an electrical circuit box with a flashlight]: "Let’s look on the bright side: South Dakota stayed open for business during the pandemic. Now, we’ve got more jobs than people!"

[Governor flips a switch and lights go on to reveal the Governor wearing electrician's overalls]: "So, I’m filling in -- until you get here. South Dakota's the freest state in America, and the best state to live, work, and raise a family. We accept most out-of-state professional licenses. And we have over 20,000 open jobs, including for electricians."

[Voiceover as Governor closes circuit box and lights go off, panning to neighborhood lights sequentially going off]: "South Dakota--Freedom Works Here."

[Governor's voice in the dark]: "Oh, no; I'm a lousy electrician."
