I spoke to Girls State attendees in Vermillion about the importance of civic engagement at all levels of government. They had some great questions about leadership, supporting South Dakota ag, and the future impact of artificial intelligence. I’m looking forward to seeing how they improve their communities and our country.

LiDAR may not be a household name, but the technology provides millimeter‑level data of America’s infrastructure. We cannot rely on Chinese LiDAR systems to examine our roads, and I’m glad my bill to protect America from this spy technology is included in @TransportGOP’s BUILD America 250 Act.

The students at Boys State in Aberdeen are a fun and thoughtful group. It was great to talk with them about Congress and the role of the federal government. I know their work will improve South Dakota and America over the next 20 years and beyond.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

This #MemorialDay we honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. I’m grateful today and every day.

🚨 PASSED out of @TransportGOP – the BUILD America 250 Act provides a historic investment in our transportation infrastructure to repair roads and bridges, improve our supply chain, and strengthen our national security.

China has built a multi‑billion‑dollar industry by selling illegal, dangerous vapes to our kids. China must stop evading our trade laws and stop sending these vapes into our country.

I enjoyed seeing my fellow Yotes in D.C. this week! We talked about their future plans and I gave them an exclusive tour of the Capitol.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

America’s infrastructure is lagging behind China’s. Our roads are filled with potholes and many of our bridges need rebuilt. D.C. bureaucrats must reject political and climate agendas and let the free market work to revitalize our highways and our supply chain.

The proof is in the pudding—Chinese companies have been colluding and manipulating the global shipping markets for years, DOUBLING costs for U.S. shippers and increasing consumer prices. This is wholly unacceptable.

That’s why we need my bill to reauthorize the FMC signed into law—to stop these bad actors in their tracks. https://t.co/onCzXJPu65

HEROES. I had the privilege of thanking veterans for their service at Arlington National Cemetery. The Midwest Honor Flight is a remarkable program, and I’m grateful to have shared in their experience.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

I talked with employees of American Bank & Trust about the impact year-round E15 would have for South Dakota, my work to improve the Postal Service, the Farm Bill, and the importance of economic growth. Thanks for having me!

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

It’s National Emergency Medical Services Week, a great time to show thanks to those who show up and save lives. I’ve done a shift in the Rapid City Emergency Department and saw first-hand how dedicated EMS workers are to protecting their communities.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

Truckers drive our economy and keep goods moving. I joined the South Dakota Trucking Association’s Truck Driving Competition Banquet to thank them for their hard work and share what I’m doing to support their efforts.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

Iran can’t be allowed to control the Strait of Hormuz and global trade. President Trump and our allies understand this and I’m hopeful cooler heads will prevail.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

Volunteer firefighters and EMS workers provide essential services to South Dakota communities. It was great to catch up with the SD Firefighters Association this week to discuss our efforts to secure resources for volunteer fire departments in the House-passed Farm Bill.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

Some of these awards can be a little corny, but this one means a great deal. 🌽⛽️

"We cannot complete divorce ourselves from China, but we do need to strategically de-risk,"

Rep. Dusty Johnson on China as President Trump meets with President Xi overseas. Johnson also says he hopes predictability on trade agreements is discussed.

Johnson sits on the select committee on China.

🚨 I just voted to pass year-round E15, giving drivers a cheaper option at the pump and supporting our farmers. We need more American-made fuel, and E15 will help drive down gas prices across the country. I’m proud of our work to get this bill passed and hope it gets signed into law soon.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

Drivers should have the option to fill their gas tank with E15 in every state, in every season. This option will save them money and support American agriculture. It’s time to get this done.

[Rep. Dusty Johnson @RepDustyJohnson]

In 2022, an illegal immigrant was driving through South Dakota with enough Chinese fentanyl to kill 500,000 people. Thanks to the hard work of our law enforcement officers, these drugs were not consumed by any of our loved ones. I’ve worked with President Trump to secure the southern border and stop the flow of Chinese fentanyl like this into our communities.
