Rebecca Reimer

Small business owner, active member of the Chamberlain/Oacoma communities, Habitat for Humanity volunteer, wife and mother are just a few of the things Rebecca Reimer has on her plate at any given time. She served on the Chamberlain School Board for 13 years, serves her church as a Sunday School teacher and youth group leader, and during the early years of her marriage farmed and ranched alongside her husband.

Rebecca thrives on being a public servant. She is a member of the South Dakota House of Representatives, representing District 26B. She would follow the legislative session as a school board member, and while attending a Legislative Cracker Barrel session, a teacher and former legislator encouraged her to run as a representative for her district.  After serving on the school board and a brief respite from public service, she jumped in.

Rebecca brings leadership as a three-term Legislator, a former Majority Whip, and a newly elected Legislative Executive Board member. She shared that her experiences have taught her that leadership isn’t always about a title but relationships and meaningful action; Developing relationships builds trust, which leads to action.
