First hour: Why is the Democratic Party losing support among millennials?
Second hour: How to change the identity of a neighborhood
A recent Reuters/Ipsos national poll shows the Democratic Party is losing support among millennials. The results of the poll, published last month, also show that millennials increasingly say the Republican Party is a better steward of the economy. That doesn’t necessarily translate into votes, but it has democratic strategists concerned as they head into election season. We'll talk with local millennials about their political affiliations, how those affiliations may have changed, and how they feel about the party system. In studio:
- Alex Hipolito, legislative assistant to Assemblymember Harry Bronson
- Carolyn Hoffman, political strategist
- Nick Nevinger, actor
- Jessica Fleming, human services professional
Then in our second hour, what does it take to change the identity of a neighborhood? Residents of the Lyell Avenue neighborhood having been working to develop solutions to persistent challenges in the area, and now they want to share their work with the community. We'll hear from them, and from Monroe County Sheriff Baxter on what it takes to uplift a neighborhood. Our guests:
- Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter
- Molly Clifford, Rochester City Council member
- Anna Valeria-Iseman, executive director of the Open Door Mission
- Michael Visconte, president of the Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association
