Public Utilities Commissioner candidates, plus author Craig Johnson

On today's show …

A move that could extend healthcare benefits to an additional 42,500 low-income residents is on the November 8 ballot. SDPB's Lee Strubinger talks about what expanding Medicaid could mean.

In November, South Dakotans will cast their vote and elect new policymakers at the state and federal levels. One race will determine the state's next public utilities commissioner. We hear the voices of Chris Nelson and Jeffery Barth.

We also Meet the Candidates for state house and senate. Nicole Heenan, a Democrat, is running for state senate in District 32.

Plus, we learn about Yankton's haunted history. Mead Cultural Education Center Programming Coordinator Rob Marlow tells the story of a high-profile murder in the historic Gurney building.

Plus, Lori Walsh interviews Craig Johnson. He's the author of the best-selling Longmire book series. He is out with the 18th installment of the series. In the new book, Sheriff Walt Longmire awakens in the middle of a snow-packed street with no memory of who he is or where he is. The story is rewarding for fans of the series and new readers alike.

Johnson artfully blends Great American Western with literary fiction in this rich exploration of distraction, regret, and how the people we love help us find our way home.
