Capital Connection – the Big Issues in PA, NY, and the USA – 9/06/24

September 06, 2024

“Capital Connection” on Family Life


It’s the “season premiere”, as our roundtable with resident experts about the happenings in Albany and Harrisburg are back


 


The Capital Connection Crew is back and discussing politics, with just two months to go until the election.


Jason McGuire is the executive director of the New York Families Foundation [NewYorkFamilies.org]


Michael Geer is the founding president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute [PAFamily.org]


Among our topics today, they’re talking about a new initiative to get more people of faith to the polls on November 5.



Now that the summer break is over, Capital Connection resumes our Friday broadcasts during the Family Life Noon Report, on air, on app, and via multiple streaming platforms. We also podcast these conversations at FamilyLife.org/newspodcasts.
