Episode 66: Jamie Walsh & Ben Herring Election Integrity, Parental Rights, and Political Realities

This week on What A Week, we’re joined by Jamie Walsh, the soon-to-be State Representative for Pennsylvania’s 117th District, and Ben Herring from Citizens Advisory of Pennsylvania, a non-profit organization founded during COVID to protect parental rights in schools. Jamie’s campaign was finally certified last week after a grueling wait since April, and in this episode, we discuss the obstacles and setbacks he faced along the way. Jamie offers a candid look into the political landscape of Pennsylvania, sharing what it’s like to run for office in today’s polarized climate.

In addition to Jamie’s campaign, we delve into the broader issue of voter integrity, focusing on the legality and controversies surrounding drop boxes and their impact on election outcomes. Ben Herring brings his perspective as an advocate for parental rights, exploring how the political discourse around education has shifted since COVID and what his organization is doing to ensure that parents have a voice in their children’s education.

We also dive into the ongoing race of McKayla Kathio and the heated debate surrounding her opponent’s support of Pennsylvania House Bill 300—a bill that has become a flashpoint in discussions on parental rights and individual liberties.
