Dakota Town Hall

Back to full strength, and from both sides of the river. Show favorite Lee Strubinger comes on to discuss SDPB's new series and then we head back into the hottest district in the state with D32's Nicole Uhre-Balk. If you don't know where to find the best falafel, SDBML's Matthew Schweich has you covered while we discuss the latest with Yes on 29. Movies from white guys for white guys you can see in Aberdeen. (the answer is yes) Thank you to Tim Johnson for your many years of service. @JakeSchoenbeck @LeeSDPB @NicoleforHouse @SouthDakotaMJ @DakotaTownHall

Down a Shoenbeck - it's Murdoc, Senator Tobin and Asst Leader Rehfeldt. We chat about Term Limits in the first break, and then Erin sticks around to discuss the upcoming election, the different divides of the current GOP, civility needing to come back, and Ref Law 21 @TaylorRehfeldt @ErinTobin21 @DakotaTownHall @Murdocj

Murdoc is back east for the Cinch Playoffs Governor's Cup, so hang on for 8 seconds while we're remote. We continue with Amendment H / Open Primaries with Ezra Hays from No on H. Samantha Chapman from the ACLU is back on the show - we chat about H, Victory Galas, and trying to engage voters. Murdoc and Pat chat about IM 28, IM 29, and Ref 21. @JakeSchoenbeck, @Chappel_Du_Vide @SoDakCampaigns @DakotaTownHall

We're in the heart of the Black Hills where District 32 gives us one of the more interesting races being decided. We'll be chatting with all of the candidates in D32 over the next few episodes to get a deep dive into these fascinating races. We start with House candidate Brook Kaufman, along with Senator Helene Duhamel. Then we're joined by our good friend, the ungovernable Pat Powers of DakotaWarCollege.com to talk about how to not pick a keynote speaker. Things Trump has endorsed. Pat's gonna do Reggie's ticket GoFundMe. @JakeShoenbeck @SoDakCampaigns @DakotaTownHall

We're broadcasting from the legendary KELO studios in downtown Sioux Falls. We get an update from Joe Kirby on Amendment H. They're eating our what now?! Noem's credit cards, old radio bits, SF mayoral edits and bipartisan support for IM 29. @kadyn_wittman @jakeshoenbeck @dakotatownhalll

We get a First Thunder Fire update from Scott Jacobson, with Public Affairs for Black Hills National Forest. Meet Austin the Producer. H O T T O Goooooooosssssss. Austin Goss from The Dakota Scout is back to prognosticate about leadership, Dusty's petition signing, and a hint about upcoming heat. Trump is for Cannbis. ISO - Victory Gala speaker. Tweets about babies. @AustinGossSD @JakeShoenbeck @DakotaTownHall

Ostriches - they're just big chickens. Fan Favorite from D15, Rep Linda Duba is back on the show. She was at the DNC and tells us what it was like to attend a national convention. DNC v RNC. Midwestern Dems vs Dems. Teapot Dome Summer for South Dakota as the investigations continue. ISO - Well Being Champ. @sdduba @JakeShoenbeck @DakotaTownHall

Geographically, we are well represented by a great bull session, as we have D1 Senator Michael Rohl and SD Chamber Pres David Owen. The history of IMs, and SD's unique citizen ability to ballot and the cost of an IM. How many Senate races don't have an opponent in November? School Prayer says hello. We need a new IT dude. GOED is senate-confirmable, FYI.

Nathan Sanderson from the South Dakota Retailer's Association comes on the show to discuss IM 28. Nathan hangs around for a rundown of the other ballot issues from a Retailer's perspective. Who wants to run a county republican group? D20 musical chairs, and things the elections in 2026 could be about. As always - burger chats. @JakeShoenbeck @DakotaTownHall @DocSandersonSD
