The South Dakota GOP’s executive director is leaving her post to take a job in a different state capital.

Madison Sheahan, who has been responsible for daily operations of the state Republican Party since January, has accepted a job in the administration of Louisiana Governor-elect Jeff Landry and will serve as his Secretary of Wildlife and Fisheries.

Landry, a staunch ally of Noem, made the announcement during a press conference this week.

“I am dedicated to developing a team that will bring the bold and innovative leadership that this state deserves,” Sheahan told The Dakota Scout. “I’m thankful that Gov.-elect Landry trusts me to lead this department in a new direction — to create a department that truly serves the people of Louisiana.”
