Mike Vehle[2] is an American politician and a Republican member of the South Dakota Senate representing District 20 since January 2009. Vehle served consecutively in the South Dakota Legislature from January 2005 until January 2009 in the South Dakota House of Representatives District 20 seat. He was a lifelong Democrat until deciding to run for office then switched his voter registration to Republican in order to get elected. Having been a lifelong Democrat does explain his liberal voting record while serving in the state capital.
