Today is Election Day in Martin County, as many of you are heading to the polls, casting your votes for the 2026 Election, as we head into a bitter contest to see who will win the election for several seats in Martin County, including Senate Seat 39. I talked with Republican Kristi Risk as we discussed:

• How she has helped those affected by the Mid-States Corridor decisions and actions by groups such as the Regional Development Authority.
• We discussed a little bit about her side on the 2026 Election
• We got to know a little bit about her, too, including how listening to others is her greatest strength.

This is our very first episode of The Loogootee Big-L Times Podcast as we welcome all new listeners!
