Leadership
:"See also: List of Speakers of the South Dakota House of Representatives"The presiding officer of the house is the Speaker of the House, elected by the members. The current Speaker is Republican Thomas Deadrick of Platte. Unlike in most other states, there is a convention of speakers serving only one term as speaker, before handing over to a successor.
In addition, the house also elects a Speaker Pro Tempore, who presides in the absence of the speaker and traditionally succeeds the speaker in the next legislature. The current Speaker Pro Tempore is Tim Rave, a Republican from Baltic.
In addition, each party selects a floor leader. The current majority leader is Larry Rhoden (R) of Union Center; the minority leader is Dale Hargens (D) of Miller. In addition, each party selects a number of whips to aid the floor leaders in leading their respective caucuses.
