The People's Guide To Power: The Power Of Parents In NY and NJ

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 25, 2022

WNYC/Gothamist senior political reporter Brigid Bergin hosts a conversation about how parents' politics are shaped around their kids' futures.

Rep. Tom Malinowski On Schools, Parents And The Direction Of The Country
First, what has an incumbent Democrat in New Jersey heard from parents about their policy priorities in schools, and beyond? U.S. Representative Tom Malinowski (D, NJ-7) discusses the politics of educating our kids, and the political landscape they'll inherit from the generation before them.

Reporters Roundtable And Parent Calls
After that conversation, we open the phones for parents to discuss their concerns about their kids' futures, and how that translates into political action, whether by activism, or at the ballot box. Plus, Chalkbeat reporter for NYC Public schools Reema Amin, and Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show and of the new podcast "Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery, bring their reporting and analysis from the politics and schools beats. [Begins at 17:51]
