  <description>In this episode of The Right Side of the Rivers, guest co-host Eileen Cunningham sits in for Russell Dreyer as she’s joined by two Republican candidates for Allegheny County Council: show host Todd McCollum, running in District 13, and Patrick Provins, running in District 9. Both men bring decades of public service experience—Todd as a neighborhood advocate and committee chair, and Patrick as a U.S. military veteran, career paramedic, and small business owner.
Together, they dive into the distinct challenges facing their regions—from the need for greater transparency and accountability in District 13 to stalled growth and overlooked resources in the Mon and Steel Valleys of District 9. The conversation explores public safety, regional committee-building, and why grassroots leadership is the key to giving forgotten communities a voice. With both Todd and Patrick focused on revitalization, fiscal responsibility, and protecting county assets, this episode brings two strong conservative perspectives into one candid, solution-driven conversation about the future of Allegheny County. Special Guests: Eileen Cunningham and Patrick Provins.
