Family Life’s “Capital Connection”

Implications and Effects of Election 2024

Our Christian watchdogs in the state capitals of Pennsylvania and New York are back to recap the biggest stories of Election 2024. This is our weekly roundtable for commentary and analysis with Jason McGuire in Albany and Michael Geer in Harrisburg.

Family Life Noon Report anchor Bob Price guides this discussion,  reviewing election results from early voting, ballots cast on November 5, and the decisions still pending as the week ends:

  • The significance of the “red wave” in presidential and congressional voting
  • How voters in our two states chose their legislative leaders, statewide and national
  • Did voters who are Christian turn out better than expected?
  • Amendment One passes in NY, and other states decide abortion-related ballot issues
  • Trends from this week which will carry over into the new year

 

Michael Geer (president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute) and Jason McGuire (executive director of the New York Family Foundation and New York Family Action) were also on the air with us election night for analysis of the news as it was happening.  You can listen to or share those special reports from these two Family Life News podcasts:

“Issues in Education”

Retired school principal and superintendent Ralph Kerr joins us for the Monday Family Life News Feature “Issues in Education”.

This week:

  • Teacher shortages, already significant, are magnified by the number of immigrant children who entered the U.S. in recent years
  • School districts are hamstrung by the multiple languages spoken by their young newcomers, many of whom are not (yet) proficient in English
  • Whether public schools and parochial schools should compete together or have separate leagues and championships — That debate is renewed again
  • How will public schools be affected, depending on whether a majority of New York voters approve or vote against Proposition One on this fall’s ballots

 

 

Dr. Ralph Kerr founded the Teaching and Learning Institute, based in Houghton, NY.  TLI has its mission to influence Pennsylvania’s and New York’s public schools with increased involvement by people traditional family values and Judeo-Christian beliefs.

Capital Connection – Today’s PA & NY Issues

It’s our weekly Family Life News cultural/political/social roundtable, for the week of 9/27/2024

It’s “Capital Connection”, the Friday news feature from Family Life News.  Noon Report anchor Bob Price guides our ten-minute conversation, digging into the issues in our two states — and far beyond.

Christian advocates Jason McGuire and Michael Gere have commentary from the two capital cities on these major issues in the news:

  • NY’s regents pause consideration on policies for transgender inclusion in girls scholastic sports, but will such rules be back after the election?
  • Do voters realize that Proposition One may enshrine such gender diversity in the New York Constitution? What will the “Equal Rights Amendment” do to women’s rights, parental rights, and parental notifications about counseling and medical treatments for their children?
  • Thousands gathered in Harrisburg this week. What is happening in the battle over abortion regulations?
  • What do our watchdogs see as trends in legislative priorities this fall, swings in the 2024 election, and voters’ confidence in how the ballots are distributed and counted?

 

 

 

Our guests on most editions of “Capital Connection” are Jason McGuire, the executive director of the New York Families Foundation and New York Families Action, and Michael Geer, the president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute.
