Our host starts this week's show focusing on portions of the South Metro, specifically Dakota County.  He chats with the following guests:

• Lakeville City Councilman Luke Hellier gives us the reasoning for his run in the city's Mayoral race.  Does he see the county growing more red this election cycle?
• Dakota County District 3 Commissioner Laurie Halverson brings her perspective on where the county sits going into the 2022 elections.
• Attorney Kim Crockett explains why she decided to become a challenger in MN's Secretary of State race.  Where does she see flaws in the current voting system?
