First hour: Candidates for Monroe County Family Court Judge

Second hour: Political commentator and author, Norm Ornstein

We sit down with candidates for Monroe County Family Court. Voters often say that they feel lost when it comes to judicial candidates, and either don’t vote, or use irrelevant criteria for making their decision, including familiarity with last names. This is a chance to get to know the candidates and why they want to do this job. In studio:

  • Nicole Bayly
  • Alecia Mazzo
  • Fatimat Reid
  • Zuleika Shepard

Then in our second hour, following the mass shooting in Pittsburgh, we sit down with Norm Ornstein, a longtime political commentator and author. He’s won awards for diagnosing America’s political dysfunction, and he’s made a mark in government with his work on McCain-Feingold, election reform, and more. Ornstein is a guest of the Jewish Book Festival at the JCC. In studio:

  • Norm Ornstein, political commentator and author
  • Andrea Miller, director of the Rochester Jewish Book Festival
