For eight years she served as Marlin Maddoux’s co-host on Point of View and for two years she co-hosted a daily drive time live broadcast on the Dallas-based Criswell Radio Network.
Penna’s interest in conservative politics and the issues that affect the family began when she was a child working on political campaigns with her parents. She graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in International Relations. She spent 8 years in the banking industry. She and her husband Todd have three children who are in their twenties. They are members of Trinity Presbyterian Church.
As a tireless pro-life advocate and co-laborer with Christians of all stripes, Pavone has received the “Proudly Pro-life Award” by the National Right to Life Committee, and numerous other pro-life awards and honorary doctorates. Influential in the conversion of Norma McCorvey, the “Jane Roe” of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade abortion decision, he was present at the bedside of Terri Schiavo as she was dying and was an outspoken advocate for her life.
