Sharon McMahon

Best-selling author, educator, and host of the chart-topping podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon McMahon is redefining how we communicate by turning confusion into clarity, inspiring change, and teaching others how to take action by doing the next needed thing.

The former high school government and law teacher became known as “America’s Government Teacher” during the 2020 election for her viral efforts to combat political misinformation. Her knack for breaking down complex topics with clarity, humor, and a steadfast commitment to facts has attracted a large community of followers – affectionately know as “Governerds.”

Her debut book, The Small and the Mighty, highlights the unsung heroes who shaped America, topping the New York Times best-selling list.

Sharon’s newsletter, The Preamble, is one of the largest publications on Substack, providing historical context and non-partisan insights to help readers navigate today’s political landscape.

She leads philanthropic initiatives that have raised over $11 million to address critical needs, from medical debt relief to disaster recovery. She inspires audiences with a message of hope: history shows us that even small actions can create powerful change.

Daschle Dialogues is the public component of the Thomas A. Daschle Congressional Research Study, which is committed to the care and preservation of Senator Tom Daschle’s papers from 26 years in public life.

Daschle, a 1969 SDSU graduate, served in Congress from 1979 to 2005. He was one of the longest-serving Senate Democratic Leaders in history and one of only two to serve twice as both Majority and Minority Leader. Daschle Dialogues is underwritten entirely by private gifts.

Senator Daschle’s son, Nathan, will represent his father at the October 27 event.

The Mike Huether Public Service Academy was established in 2024 to develop exceptional leaders empowered with the necessary knowledge, skills and values to embrace the responsibilities of citizenship and strengthen their communities at the local, regional and national levels. Mike Huether is a 1984 SDSU graduate. He served as Mayor of Sioux Falls from 2010 to 2018. The Public Service Academy is housed within the School of American and Global Studies.
