Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Gets Nightmare News as Dems Close In on Key Race
Q: Secretary Benson, thank you for joining me today. What is the central concern you're addressing in this race regarding democracy and federal involvement?
I'm running to defend Michigan's democracy from federal overreach, ensure election integrity, and deliver practical economic solutions like affordable health care and housing so families can thrive without sacrificing their rights.
Congress Caught in Shocking Cash Grab Scheme
Q: What can supporters do to help your campaign and what should people know about your platform?
She directs listeners to page4pa.com for campaign information, stressing a commitment to nonpartisan problem-solving, restoring trust, and building a government that works for people rather than special interests.
Congress Caught in Shocking Cash Grab Scheme
Q: What have you learned from managing a city through the COVID-19 crisis that informs your approach to the federal level?
Cognetti details cross-sector collaboration with mayors, nonprofits, and universities, emphasizing the importance of data-driven decisions, transparent communication, and prioritizing vulnerable populations—lessons she believes are transferable to national governance.
Congress Caught in Shocking Cash Grab Scheme
Q: How do you connect local corruption in Scranton to the broader concerns about national government, particularly with stock trading by members of Congress?
She argues that the pattern of self-enrichment at the expense of constituents undermines trust in government, citing specific trades and votes as evidence that public policy can be skewed toward personal gain, which is unacceptable in health care and other essential services.
Congress Caught in Shocking Cash Grab Scheme
Q: Paige, what motivated you to run for Congress after your successful tenure as Scranton's mayor and your work with the Auditor General?
Cognetti explains that ongoing corruption and the need for accountability at every level pushed her to seek a federal position where she could apply reform-minded principles, bring transparency to government, and ensure that funds like Medicaid serve the people rather than lining pockets.
