First hour: New Yorkers Against Gun Violence push for new gun legislation
Second hour: Monroe County Sheriff candidate Todd Baxter
New Yorkers Against Gun Violence is an organization that believes there are new gun regulations within reach in New York State this year. They're focusing on the impact of gun violence against women. Statistics show that American women are far more likely to be killed by guns than women in other developed countries. NYAGV is pushing the Emergency Restraining Protection Order. They'll explain what it is, and why the election of Donald Trump is actually helping their efforts to pass new legislation. Our guests:
- Gary Pudup, member of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence
- Pam Graham, prevention education and training coordinator at Willow Domestic Violence Center
In our second hour: Todd Baxter is running Monroe County Sheriff. He's running as a Democrat, challenging longtime Republican incumbent Patrick O'Flynn. But Baxter says he's not a political person; he's focused on law enforcement. He's the former Greece police chief who helped clean up the culture of corruption in that department. We'll discuss why he says this election is critical, and where he sees himself differing with Sheriff O'Flynn.
