Four Votes From History

from Dakota Town Hall

Back again! This week on the show, Sioux Falls Mayor Christine Erickson joins us fresh off one of the closest mayoral races in South Dakota history to talk about winning by just four votes, what election night really felt like, and how she's approaching the first 100 days of her administration. We get into her transition team, the city's budget, public safety, downtown redevelopment after Smithfield, and why she chose to endorse Governor Larry Rhoden in the final stretch of the gubernatorial runoff. Plus, Second Lady Sara Venhuizen takes us behind the scenes of growing up in South Dakota politics, life alongside Lt. Gov. Tony Venhuizen, campaign stories spanning three decades, and why retail politics still beats every new campaign trend. And of course, we hit the latest fallout from the gubernatorial race, reactions to last week's Toby Doeden interview, Denny Sanford's legacy, Democratic campaign drama, burgers, Hippo Task Forces, and plenty of the political sidebars that make Dakota Town Hall what it is. @DakotaTownHall @Jakeshoenbeck @MurdocJ
