South Dakota Searchlight – U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-South Dakota, was reelected as chairman of the Main Street Caucus, his office said Wednesday.

Johnson has led the group since 2022. The congressional caucus describes itself as a group of more than 80 “pragmatic conservatives” seeking to “come together to find practical solutions.”

“Now is a special time in American history,” Johnson said in a news release. “We must secure the border, cut spending, and roll back unnecessary regulations. The Republican Main Street Caucus will work with President Trump and the Senate to deliver on this strong, conservative agenda. I’m proud to lead this group during this exciting time.”

Johnson won reelection in November over Democratic challenger Sheryl Johnson.
