Mike Rounds is the Republican incumbent Senator from South Dakota, first elected in 2014 and re-elected in 2020. A former Governor of South Dakota (2003-2011), he sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Banking Committee, and Finance Committee. He is a staunch conservative: pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, anti-regulation, pro-agricultural interests, supportive of veterans and Ellsworth Air Force Base. Generally Trump-aligned but has shown occasional independence on select issues. His campaign is focused on his Senate record and committee assignments rather than new policy proposals.
