First hour: Robin Wilt, candidate for the 25th Congressional District Democratic primary
Second hour: Nate McMurray, Democratic candidate for the 27th Congressional District special election
The Democratic primary is less than one week away, and voters in the 25th Congressional District will have a choice between two candidates in that race: current Congressman Joe Morelle, and Brighton Town Board member Robin Wilt. This is Wilt's second run for Congress; Morelle won the seat in 2018 after the passing for long-time Congresswoman Louise Slaughter. This hour, we talk with Wilt about her platform and priorities for the district. Our guest:
- Robin Wilt
*Note: Congressman Morelle was offered equal time on the program, but was unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts.
Then in our second hour, Republican Chris Jacobs is running against Democrat Nate McMurray in the special election for New York’s 27th Congressional district. That seat had been held by Chris Collins, who resigned his seat after pleading guilty to a variety of charges related to insider trading and corruption. WXXI was not able to schedule a televised debate between the candidates, so we’re offering radio time. McMurray has agreed to join us to discuss the issues. Our guest:
- Nate McMurray
