Rep. Dusty Johnson, who represents South Dakota's at-large district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared several updates via social media regarding his activities and concerns. These posts reflect his ongoing engagement with federal agencies and local issues affecting his constituents.

On November 19, 2024, Rep. Johnson raised concerns about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He stated: "Today, I questioned the FEMA Administrator on the broader culture at the agency following guidance to not visit homes in North Carolina and Florida that displayed Trump signs. FEMA should help every citizen after a disaster, regardless of who they supported for President."

Later that day, he shared an update about postal services in Sioux Falls: "Great news – the Sioux Falls Post Office will continue to process local mail. Earlier this year, the USPS announced it would be redirecting services at some South Dakota post offices, including Sioux Falls. I’m glad they changed course to ensure mail gets delivered efficiently.…" This decision follows earlier plans by USPS to redirect services from certain South Dakota locations.

On November 20, 2024, Rep. Johnson met with representatives from a key organization focused on tribal land conservation: "The Native American Fish and Wildlife Society came by to talk federal funding opportunities to help conserve tribal lands." This meeting highlights efforts towards securing financial resources for preserving these important areas.
