Corrections & Public Safety: South Dakota’s parole division is touting “wins” from 2025, but Gov. Larry Rhoden is moving fast after fresh scrutiny—following a Sioux Falls officer shooting allegedly tied to a man on parole—prompting new parole supervision hires, faster violation decisions, and a crackdown on drug use. Elections & Voting: The AG has finalized the ballot explanation for a proposed constitutional amendment requiring U.S. citizenship to vote, headed to the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. Democrats in the Spotlight: Former President Joe Biden is set to headline the South Dakota Democratic Party’s McGovern Day dinner in Sioux Falls on June 5. Local Politics & Policy: Rhoden is expanding youth apprenticeships statewide, aiming to connect more high schools to paid work pathways. Courts: The South Dakota Supreme Court upheld child rape convictions and a 70-year prison sentence. Education & Community: A Mobridge-Pollock freshman won $10,000 in the “Lesson Learned SD” safe-driving program.
