**Representative Taylor Rehfeldt Honored with 2025 CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award**
SIOUX FALLS, SD — The Council of State Governments (CSG) has named Representative Taylor Rehfeldt (R-District 14) as a recipient of the prestigious 2025 CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award. This award recognizes the bipartisan leadership and public service of 20 emerging elected and appointed state officials across all four CSG regions.
“Serving South Dakota is a privilege. I’m grateful for this recognition because it reflects what matters most: delivering real results for families and communities across our state. There is important work ahead, and I’m committed to staying focused on solutions that make life better for every South Dakotan,” said Rep. Rehfeldt.
Established in 2020 through the vision of former New Hampshire Senator Lou D’Allesandro, a public servant of more than five decades, the CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award was created during his tenure as CSG National Chair. The award aims to strengthen engagement with younger state leaders.
Since its inception, the CSG 20 Under 40 community has annually welcomed a new class of inspiring public servants under the age of 40. These leaders make meaningful contributions to their communities while exemplifying the core CSG values of civility, collaboration, and innovation.
Rep. Rehfeldt was selected from a competitive pool of applicants who demonstrated excellence in one or more of the following areas:
– Engaging officials across party lines, departments, branches, and/or state lines to advance the common good for their state or territory.
– Providing exceptional leadership to a state project, committee, chamber, commission, or special group.
– Serving as a champion of change, seeking to enhance the lives of all constituents within a specific policy area.
A recognition ceremony for the 2025 recipients will take place at the CSG National Conference from December 9-13 in Chicago. Leaders from all 56 states and U.S. territories will be in attendance to exchange ideas, address complex state policy issues, and celebrate the work of outstanding public servants.
