The votes by the South Dakota Senate this week to convict Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg on two Articles of Impeachment ended a long legislative process.
Representative Ryan Cwach of Yankton was a member of the Select Committee on Investigation that wrote the Articles and gave a floor speech during the special session that led to the one vote approval to move forward. He says he is glad it’s over….

Cwach says the Senate was clear in the debate and votes….

The select committee recommended that Ravnsborg not be impeached.
Cwach says there is a clear message for public officials…..

Ravnsborg has been officially removed from office and Governor Kristi Noem has the authority to appoint an interim Attorney General.
