This week, Theresa joins us in the Arena to revisit her dramatic 2020 election, the recount that followed her razor-thin 97-vote loss, and the questions that still linger from that race.

Along the way, she shares several Fourth of July-worthy revelations — the kind that bring plenty of fireworks of their own.

Theresa Stehly stepped into the Arena this week to discuss her Sioux Falls City Council recount experience in which she lost by 97 votes to Alex Jensen in 2020.

Stehly shares the lessons she learned about the recount and how and why they will affect the Erickson-Smith recount in the 2026 mayoral.

We also discussed why the recount will be heavily contested by each of the candidates and their big-money supporters.

Here are a few pics of her experience from 2020 - notice the same cast and crew trying to keep their hands on the helm of the ship of state.

Theresa Stehly steps into the Arena this week for our America 250 celebration edition, and we could not imagine a more fitting guest for the occasion.

A longtime Sioux Falls civic activist, former at-large City Council member, and music educator, Stehly has built a reputation as one of the city’s most persistent and outspoken voices for transparency, taxpayer accountability, and citizen involvement. From grassroots efforts on Drake Springs outdoor pool to the push for citywide snow-gate use, she has never been afraid to challenge City Hall or rally residents around a cause.

This week, Theresa joins us in the Arena to revisit her dramatic 2020 election, the recount that followed her razor-thin 97-vote loss, and the questions that still linger from that race. Along the way, she shares several Fourth of July-worthy revelations — the kind that bring plenty of fireworks of their own.
