The Interview #130 | Kent Roe - Let's Do It Again
from The Interview Podcast Hosted by Craig Weinberg
South Dakota State Representative Kent Roe joins Craig Weinberg for a wide-ranging conversation about his first term in the legislature, why he’s seeking re-election, and how he views the growing divisions within modern politics. The discussion explores the influence of social media on public discourse, the role of government in shaping culture, debates over education, homeschooling, school funding, parental rights, and the balance between individual freedom and public responsibility. Roe also shares his perspective on economic development, property taxes, rural population decline, workforce challenges, energy policy, and what it will take to keep small-town South Dakota vibrant in the decades ahead. Along the way, Craig and Kent dive into topics ranging from cell phones in schools and gun ownership to front license plates, government regulation, tax incentives, and the realities of governing in a state where demographic and economic trends are reshaping communities. The conversation offers an in-depth look at how Roe approaches public policy, weighs competing interests, and thinks through the complex issues facing South Dakota's future.
