Spend an hour talking politics with the local heads of the primary political parties. In the first segment News Director Chad Carrothers finds out more about Monroe County Republican Party Chairman Franklin Andrew, how he assumed party leadership, what the party does, and Republican candidates in key local races like county council, commissioner and judge. In segment two meet Lee Jones, Chairwoman of the Monroe County Democratic Party. Jones talks about how she got into politics, and again we look at hotly-contested local races with a particular focus on candidates for judge and representation of women and people of color in elected positions. Our third segment brings both party heads together for a mutual discussion of dirty campaigns, the competitive yet civil relationship between local party operations; “527” political advocacy groups, and media coverage of candidates.
