Poll Position

from Dakota Town Hall

Back again! This week on the show, Jake and Murdoc dive straight into the poll everyone in South Dakota is talking about. Dan Ahlers joins fresh off locking up the Democratic nomination for governor and makes his case on property taxes, affordable housing, healthcare, and why he thinks 50 years of one-party rule has run its course. Plus, Alex Rifaat from South Dakota News Watch breaks down the newest GOP governor numbers, why Dusty Johnson keeps climbing, how John Hansen suddenly surged into second, and what it means for Larry Rhoden, Toby Doeden, and the rest of the field. We also get into Bill Meirose and his challenge against John Carley in District 29, with a heavy focus on Meade County property taxes, school closures, limestone mining fights, and the never-ending zoning wars out west. And of course, we hit the fallout from the Kristi Noem polling, early voting delays across the state, gubernatorial attack ads getting sharper, Kaleb Weiss apparently owning an emu, and yes… Murdoc is still trying to bring hippos to South Dakota. Because of course he is. @DakotaTownHall @Jakeshoenbeck @MurdocJ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
