The 2022 United States House of Representatives election in South Dakota was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the U.S. representative from South Dakota's at-large congressional district. The election coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.
Incumbent Republican Dusty Johnson was re-elected with 81.0% of the vote in 2020.[1] Johnson defeated state representative Taffy Howard in the Republican primary. No Democratic candidate appeared on the ballot, Johnson's only general election opponent was Libertarian Collin Duprel.[2]
Though Johnson won comfortably in a 55-point win, mainly due to competing against a candidate of a minor party, Durpel made a bit of a stronger performance than some had expected, with over 22% of the vote. Johnson himself received over 77% of the vote. It was the best performance by a Libertarian candidate in the state's history.
