BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — South Dakota U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem will be one of the featured speakers at North Dakota's state Republican Party convention.

The convention is March 30-April 1 in Bismarck. The South Dakota Republican is speaking on Saturday, March 31.

Noem is a farmer and rancher from rural Hamlin County in northeastern South Dakota. She is a former South Dakota state legislator. She was elected to the U.S. House in 2010 and is seeking her second term this year.

State Republican Party director Matt Becker says Noem is a fiscal conservative and backs a federal balanced budget amendment. He says she is "just the kind of person North Dakotans relate to."
