  <description>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.
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.
