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:

This week, host Bob Price poses these questions to our faith-and-values experts in Harrisburg and Albany:

  • Why Democrats are Winning at the Ballot Box on the Abortion Issue
  • Why Proposition 1 is so Dangerous
  • Has Early Voting Undermined Election Integrity

“Capital Connection”

Family Life’s weekly roundtable on social, cultural and political issues in PA & NY

This week, the latest from Harrisburg and Albany …. plus a preview of Shippensburg and Binghamton

  • Pro-life cases go to court
  • Protecting parent’s rights — and students’ privacy rights at school
  • Abortion rhetoric in the 2024 election
  • Is this Governor Cuomo’s comeback?

Jason McGuire and Michael Geer are Christian watchdogs lobbying for the protection and advancement of Christians “and” Christian values in Albany and Harrisburg. Each Friday during the legislative seasons, they join Family Life News for their commentary and analysis — on the air, on our live stream, and with this weekly podcast.

 

Also, today’s Noon Report and this podcast offer a preview of Family Life’s two “Capital Connection  Live” events. Our panel will speak to a pair of public forums we hold so that listeners and website visitors can be part of an extended conversation on the major issues now shaping New York and Pennsylvania, as well as what will make the differences in statewide and national elections this fall.

Between the two events — one in Clarion County, one in Broome County — 275 people have already made reservations. Details and preregistration opportunities are available from the EVENTS page at FamilyLife.org.

Admission is free, and free passes will be available at the door for anyone who still wants to attend (up to the capacity of the host sites). Each night’s program begins at 7:00 p.m.

The Attack on Trump — Political & Christian perspectives from Michael Geer – 7/18/2024

As part of the Family Life News continuing coverage of the attempt on Donald Trump’s life on July 13,  we continue to seek out reactions and perspectives from the Family Life listening area.

Michael Geer is the founding president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute. (He had been a resident of that area north of the Pittsburgh metro area.) Family Life news producer Greg Gillispie asked Geer to comment on the likely political fallout in Pennsylvania. Winning a majority of Keystone State voters is seen by both major political parties as a key to who will win the presidency this fall. Geer says the assassination attempt, plus the former president’s actions in the immediate aftermath, are likely to influence a number of uncommitted and independent voters.

Geer also offers a faith-based perspective on how, moving forward, this near-death experience is likely to affect the 45th president — and many people for whom this event can be a significant turning point.
