Stand Dinner 2026 - Rapid City

Jason J. McGuire serves as the Executive Director of New York Families Foundation and its affiliated organization, New York Families Action. Mr. McGuire has been on staff with New York Families since 2007, and has been an integral part of the continued growth and impact of the organization since that time.

McGuire is a passionate defender of Christian principles like the sanctity of life, the sacredness of marriage, the centrality of religious freedom, and the need for a more just and merciful society, and he fervently believes that these principles can only be lived out if the hearts of men and women turn to God. A gifted and accomplished public speaker, Mr. McGuire preaches and teaches at churches and conferences across the state and the nation; also, he is frequently called upon by media outlets for his expertise regarding New York state government and public policy. His radio broadcasts can be heard on Christian stations throughout New York, and his e-mails inform tens of thousands of grassroots Christian activists. Both locally and nationally, Mr. McGuire is widely recognized as a key leader in the pro-life and pro-family movements.

Because of his convictions, McGuire drew the ire of the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James. As a result of Ms. James’ lawfare, in 2025 Jason served 53 days of intermittent incarceration. He knows something of the cost required to follow one’s faith, regardless of the repercussions.

Mr. McGuire attended Davis College in Johnson City, New York, and holds a Bachelor of Theology Degree from Andersonville Theological Seminary, Camilla, Georgia. Prior to his employment with New York Families, McGuire served as Pastor of the Ingleside Christian Church in Naples, New York. He and his wife, Lorenne, were married in 1996 and have been blessed with four children.
