Gavels Down, Campaigns Up

Back again! On the show this week we’re joined by Ryan Budmayr, returning show historian Tony Venhuizen, and District 13 Senate candidate Dan Kippley for a fast-moving episode on how the session ended, what actually got done in Pierre, and how the governor’s debate is already reshaping the 2026 race. We get into historic property tax relief, TIF and Future Fund fights, the battle over economic development, and why the divide between growth-first Republicans and the populist wing is only getting sharper. Plus Dan jumps in to talk about his District 13 Senate run, why he’s leaning on his economic development background, what “common sense politics” looks like in Sioux Falls, and how he plans to grind through one of the toughest primaries in the state. We also hit petitions, yard sign wars, debate fallout, and the campaign-season chaos that’s officially underway. @DakotaTownHall @Jakeshoenbeck @MurdocJ Hosted on Acast.
