Campbell Conversation Spotlight


In the wake of the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings, Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State legislature passed a set of new gun control laws. Then, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned New York's concealed carry permitting process. In response, the governor and the legislature, in a special session, passed another set of laws.

On this episode of the Campbell Conversations, Grant Reeher speaks with NYS Assemblyman Robert Smullen, a Republican representing the 118th assembly district and Senator Rachel May, a Democrat representing the 53rd senate district.

About the Campbell Conversations Radio Series


Campbell Conversations was created in 2011 by Grant Reeher, director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and host and producer of the Campbell Conversations.

Among the program’s recognition's and awards are a “Best Special Program” award from the Syracuse Press Club, and a “Best Interview” award from the New York State Associated Press.

"In the Campbell Conversations, we try to provide the extra space for the depth I am always hungering for as a listener," said Reeher. "I hope listeners will find the guests’ commentary as interesting as I do when I have the privilege of talking with them."
