When it comes time to vote for candidates in judicial races, what should you consider? Voters in Monroe County will see two judicial races on their ballots in this year's general election: State Supreme Court and Monroe County Family Court. This hour, we sit down with the candidates in both races to discuss their backgrounds and what they want you to think about when it comes to work on the bench.

Segment 1: State Supreme Court
Then in our second hour, the Monroe County War on Terror Memorial was built on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Organizers say the memorial is incomplete, and they are trying to add elements that pay tribute to veterans who fought in numerous places. There are events planned for multiple local war memorials later this month. We discuss the memorials and how veterans are hoping to convince the public to engage with them more often. Our guests:
