Senate Candidate Sean Parnell Joins The Dom Show
Sean Parnell, decorated combat veteran, NYT best-seller, and Republican candidate for US Senate in Pennsylvania, joins the Dom Giordano Program to tell us a bit about why he’s decided to get involved in politics.
Parnell explains that he was preparing to be a teacher in life until 9/11 happened, in which he was encouraged to join the military. A couple years later, he found himself stationed in Afghanistan in an incredibly heated conflict as the United States tried to find Osama Bin Laden. Parnell explains how he put his fatigues aside and picked up a pen, writing his first book.
Since then, Parnell has been heavily involved in politics but had never wanted to be a politician until Donald Trump encouraged him to run for congress. Then, Parnell gets into a discussion about the issues, explaining what he feels his purpose is in running for Senate, and tells why he’s so adamantly against the radical opposition's plans to end the filibuster.
Martina White On New Bill That'd Allow The Recall Of Elected Officials
State Representative Martina White returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss new legislation she’s penned that will allow for the recall of elected officials who oversee state executive branches, agencies or departments and elected executives of first-class cities. White explains that, unbelievably, there’s no way for the general public to recall a politician in the state of Pennsylvania. The bill, which has been amended to only apply to Philadelphia mayors and district attorneys, is a step in the right direction, albeit not what she had originally planned for the bill, which would be to allow any elected official to be held accountable, not just Philadelphia politicians. After that, Martina White and Giordano discuss a bill that would continue allowing cocktails-to-go for local bars and restaurants, which White would love to see, but knows that compromise is important in politics and doesn’t know why the bill has been amended in the Senate.
