Dakota Town Hall

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

Today we're joined by arguably the largest political interviewing voice in South Dakota, Senior Producer and Host of SDPB's In the Moment, Lori Walsh. We chat Walz, Noem, burgers, and the 346 people potentially running in 2026

A special Dakota Town Hall with our legal friends from the East. A co-episode with Joe Sneve and Jonathon Ellis from The Dakota Scout. It's Dakota Scouting Town Hall 3. (At the time of editing I think it was 3) @TheDakotaScout @DakotaScoutJoe @DakotaScoutJon @JakeShoenbeck @Murdocj @DakotaTownHall
