Lloyd Smucker

...

when, uh, Lloyd Smucker won, first won.

Um-

What did we do, what were we doing? I forgot what were the events.

So, yeah.

My, my first day was literally an event with Representative Lloyd Smucker, so that is-

Nice.

And I-

How much effort or how much energy do I put into trying to strategize in my own simple mind how we could fix this country we live in? In 2018, there was a general election for the US House of Representatives, and there was two candidates here in Lancaster County.

One was Lloyd Smucker, which we've- A lot of us know a Christian conservative who grew up attending Gapview Beachy Church, and he attended Weavertown School.

And he was, um, running against Jess King, a liberal Lancaster County Mennonite.

King has said that her Mennonite faith, with its emphasis, emphasis on voluntary civic, civic services, shaped her commitment to anti-poverty work, community organization, and public service.

You should just pray for them." That didn't make sense to me, because my parents never taught me not to do good but just pray, I thought.

Why couldn't I pray and vote? And why can't we do good in the church and in the government? I believe that's a good question that we might need to answer.

There are some good Christians right around us today, Lloyd Smucker, Dave Zimmerman, I know him personally, um, and a l-- former Beachy preacher, politician Dave Nissley, um, who are doing this.

How should we approach this issue at Weavertown? I'd like to look at a few things we find in the Christian nationalist leaders in America, um, and I'm just gonna quote a few things about them.

Age 70 would become maximum monthly benefit age because monthly payments grow when workers delay claiming up to that point.

Republican Congressman Lloyd Smucker, Democrat Congressman Don Beyer, and AARP support the change, saying current terms confuse people deciding when to claim.

The bill has now cleared both chambers of Congress and is heading to the president's desk.

Still ahead, federal health officials are offering $10 million to help expand the presidential fitness test.

And that's why I feel strongly that PA-11 needs another leader.

It needs somebody new because Lloyd Smucker is simply just letting Donald Trump do whatever he wants.

We need some guardrails on democracy.

And the War Powers Act is only one of many actions that Lloyd Smucker has been either silent or in complete agreement with Trump.

And it's not helping the American people.

It's just terrible.

Well, I'll tell you, I have a couple props.

One of them is a small spine.

Greetings from Lancaster County.

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to our candidate, Democratic candidate from PA 11 for U.S. House who's running against Lloyd Smucker, the incumbent.

Her name is Nancy Mannion.

And the reason I'm calling is that she is not receiving any financial support from the national and state level of the Democratic Party.

So she can't put any commercials on television.

But Lloyd Smucker's getting tons of money from the Republican Party to do some slick ads.

But there's nothing from her that she can counter on... on television.

You just did it here on radio.

Citizenship and Immigration Services is denying the green card application for a York pastor whose case has caught the attention of Pennsylvania's top politicians.

Last week, the intervention of Governor Josh Shapiro Senators John Fetterman and Dave McCormick and Representative Lloyd Smucker seem to halt the deportation of Molise Agustave, but with the denial of his application, Agustave is again at risk of being flown to Haiti.

As early as Thursday, his legal team is filing legal motions and calling for more public support to try to get Agustave back to his wife, a two-year-old son, and a nine-year-old stepdaughter, all U.S. citizens.

A trainer is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of 18-year-old Christopher Lopez of Biglerville during training at Letterkenny Army Depot in March.

My colleague Jordan Wilkie reports on the momentary win and the challenges ahead in the case of Molise Agustave.

Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator John Fetterman, Democrats, and Senator Dave McCormick and Congressman Lloyd Smucker, Republicans, all intervened to keep Agustave in the country.

That's according to staff with immigration advocacy group We Are Casa.
