Noem Fundraiser Organized In Dallas TX

Governor Kristi Noem

Governor Kristi Noem will attend a private fundraiser in Dallas, Texas, tonight to raise money for her gubernatorial campaign.

The event will take place in the home of Kathryn and Gentry Beach and has a recommended contribution of $1,000 per attendee and up to $8,000 per couple.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Gentry Beach is stock trader and recent rising star in Republican fundraising.

The reception also suggests the Kristi For Governor political action committee can take corporate donations up to $4,000.

In recent weeks, Governor Noem has been campaigning across the country as a surrogate for President Donald Trump.

Since then, the number of COVID-19 cases has surged. Nearly eight thousand and four hundred South Dakotans are actively infected with the disease. Three hundred and twenty-three have died.
