Kick off 2023 with PRSA Philadelphia as we dive into the complex lifecycle of political communications.
We will explore John Fetterman’s recent groundbreaking win for U.S. Senate, how to launch a gun
violence communications campaign with 150 civic leaders and the Mayor’s Office, thoughts about the
upcoming transition of Pennsylvania Governor-elect Josh Shapiro, and management of day-to-day PR
from Wilmington to Washington for Delaware’s sole Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.).

And we’ll hear about it all directly from the professionals who oversaw or played a role with these most
critical communications strategies behind the scenes!
