The writers behind this newsletter.

  • The Dakota Scout

    South Dakota’s leading alternative, independent and locally owned political newspaper focusing on state and local politics in state Capitol and Sioux Falls.

  • Shannon Marvel

    Reporter for The Aberdeen Insider.

  • Joe Sneve

    Fifth-generation South Dakotan in his 15th year covering local news. When he's not hounding politicians and hunting for the next big story, he spends his time with his two daughters, riding motorcycles and chasing Pearl Jam around the globe.

  • Dan Gehlsen

    The Dakota Scout's Director of Legals & Public Notices, Dan is also The Scout's Scouting Yesterday historian. When he's not looking over the records of yesterday and today he enjoys spending time gardening and camping with his daughter.

  • Todd Epp

    South Dakota Broadcasters Association

  • Bo Hutchins

    Bo’s hunted pheasants, landed walleyes, and spent 30 years in SD politics. He’s outlasted careers, been ignored, occasionally thanked, and still knows when someone’s bluffing—or just rehearsing for the next season.

  • Jonathan Ellis

    A founder and writer at The Dakota Scout. When I'm not chasing stories I'm coaching soccer.
