Rep. Steve Hickey Resigning From South Dakota House

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Gov. Dennis Daugaard says state Rep. Steve Hickey is resigning his seat in the South Dakota House.

The Sioux Falls Republican has served since 2011. His resignation is effective Sept. 1. His reasons for stepping down weren’t immediately clear.

Daugaard says he is fielding candidates to take Hickey’s place, and expects to appoint someone in the fall.

Hickey represents District 9, which includes northwestern Minnehaha County. That includes the Hartford, Humboldt, Crooks and Wall Lake areas, as well as part of Sioux Falls.
