  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this special edition of The Right Side of the Rivers, hosts Todd McCollum and Russell Dryer broadcast live from Pittsburgh’s iconic LeMont Restaurant ahead of the inaugural Foundry Dinner. Joined by Fox News contributor and political analyst Erin Maguire, Pennsylvania Treasurer and gubernatorial candidate Stacy Garrity, and lieutenant governor candidate Jason Richey, the panel discusses the political importance of Western Pennsylvania, the region’s economic potential, and the path to Republican victories in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conversation highlights Pittsburgh’s rich industrial heritage, the future of energy development in the region, the importance of manufacturing and union jobs, and how Southwestern Pennsylvania continues to play a decisive role in statewide and national elections. The guests also discuss Pennsylvania’s economic challenges, population decline, government spending, and the need for commonsense leadership focused on growth, opportunity, and keeping future generations in the Commonwealth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Along the way, the group shares their personal impressions of Pittsburgh, reflects on the city’s role in American history, and offers some lighthearted takes on local traditions—from Primanti Bros. sandwiches to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ playoff chances. Recorded before a live audience overlooking the city skyline, this special episode captures the energy, optimism, and civic pride that continue to shape the future of Western Pennsylvania. Special Guests: Erin Maguire, Jason Richey, and Stacy Garrity.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this pivotal pre-election episode, hosts Todd McCollum and Russell Dryer are joined by Jason Richey, Chairman of the Republican Committee of Allegheny County (RCAC), for a wide-ranging conversation on the Republican resurgence in Pittsburgh and beyond. Jason shares how the GOP has expanded from 50% to 98% local committee coverage in just months, the strategy behind forming regional committees like Woodland Hills and Fox Chapel, and why the 2025 election could flip County Council control for the first time in decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From energizing voters in long-forgotten areas like McKeesport and the Mon Valley to supporting working-class candidates like Mike Dell, Mary Jo Wise, Len Iorio, and Patrick Provins, Jason lays out a bold plan for reclaiming Allegheny County through grassroots momentum, commonsense policies, and real leadership. The episode also touches on judicial races, key countywide candidates, and why a vote for Republicans this November is a vote for accountability, economic growth, and public safety. Special Guest: Jason Richey.&lt;/p&gt;
