On March 19, 2016, Kading was elected at the South Dakota Republican Party State Convention to serve on the Rules Committee of the 2016 Republican National Convention in July 2016.[4]
In her capacity as a member of the Rules Committee at the convention, Kading had been asked about her stance on Rule 40—a rule that requires candidates for the Republican nomination for president to be able to demonstrate support from a majority of delegates in at least eight individual states in order to be considered for the Republication nomination for president at the 2016 Republican National Convention—to which, Kading stated "We don't want to give the impression that we are leaning one way or the other in support or trying to hold somebody else [candidates] back"[6] Kading also noted that "despite her qualms with the eight-state rule, she intends to take most of her cues from [Morton] Blackwell, who has attended every convention since 1964."[6]
Kading also stated that she opposed a re-write of a regulation that required some delegates to vote for the candidate that won the majority support in their respective states on first vote.[8]
Regarding a movement to unbind the delegates to the 2016 convention in an effort to prevent Trump from winning the Republican nomination, Kading stated, "The efforts of a few should not negate the bylaws of the state parties nor the will of the primary voters."[9]
Appointment process
The convention Rules Committee in 2016 consisted of one male and one female delegate from each state and territorial delegation. The Rules of the Republican Party required each delegation to elect from its own membership representatives to serve on the Rules Committee.
