Mykala Voita is an American politician. She serves as a Republican member for the 21st district of the South Dakota Senate.[2] Voita is a member of the State's Senate Appropriations Committee and the Joint Committee on Appropriations.[3]
On February 18, 2025, Voita spoke in opposition to a bill that would have raised the age to marry in South Dakota to 18-years-old. She said the issue was personal to her as she was once "two months away from being in an underage marriage," but ultimately they decided to wait. She voted no to passing the bill.[4]
In March of 2025, three pro-gun bills she sponsored were signed by Governor Larry Rhoden.[5]
