Contested State Rep. Race, School Trauma Pilot & Beer Gardens Return

It’s the Friday News Roundup! Topics this week include a NE Philly state house primary that pits two politically-connected families against each other and a new program to help public school students manage trauma. Executive Producer Laura Benshoff is joined by Gillian McGoldrick, Harrisburg reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Dale Mezzacappa, senior reporter at Chalkbeat Philadelphia. 

Our Friday News Roundups are powered by great local journalism:  

• This Northeast Philly race pits the Doughertys against the Boyles — and the GOP thinks it can flip the seat
• Philly police will notify schools about students found at traumatic events under pilot program
• Chaddsford Winery and event space up for sale after 42 years
• PHS Pop Up Gardens open for the season on Friday

For more information on the PHS Pop Up Gardens, check out their website.
