SD Governor Named in Houston Lawsuit Over Dental Ad

A civil lawsuit is being filed against South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem for her participation in a Texas dental ad.

Noem recently post a nearly five-minute testimonial on social media for Smile Texas, a practice outside of Houston.

Travelers United, a consumer watchdog group, filed the lawsuit arguing the video is misleading and features deceptive advertising.

The non-profit claims Noem is a social media influencer and that she was either paid or given free or reduced-cost medical services in exchange for the post.

Travelers United wants Noem to make a corrective disclosure.
