Insight & Influence: The Podcast

In late 2024, we launched our Insight & Influence e-newsletter to share information and updates on Harrisburg happenings and those with across the state. Now we've moved to the next level with a companion podcast, also called Insight & Influence.


Presented by C & G Strategies, Insight & Influence brings insightful conversations from influential people including government officials, industry leaders, and advocates from across the state.

Episode 14 of the C & G Strategies podcast, Insight and Influence, is now live.

​​​

The November 4th election, locally, statewide and nationally, saw record turnout for Democrats and Republicans. Three Supreme Court judges up for retention kept their seats. The vote attracted millions of dollars to Pennsylvania with parties advocating for votes on either side. Superior and Commonwealth Court seats were won by Democrats and a number of other, high profile offices across the state were won by Democrats.

 

This week, C & G Strategies' Rob Vescio and Amie Downs talked with Senator Greg Rothman, Chair of the Pennsylvania GOP, about his thoughts about Tuesday's results, trends that he noticed, and what it means for the election cycle ahead. The next episode will include a Democrat perspective on the election.

Episode 15 will be available the week of November 25. Subscribe today and you’ll never miss one!
