Description

Civic Cocktail offers a lively look at big events and important issues facing the Puget Sound region.

To win elections and get things done requires political maneuvering from inside and out of the seats of power. Just after a critical midterm election, leaders and political consultants from both sides of the aisle join Civic Cocktail to talk about how Democrats and Republicans play the political game and what it takes to win. Elected officials describe what it’s like to run a race and govern in these turbulent times - and how our democracy might survive (and thrive) despite our differences.

Panelists

Segment 1 - Local elected officials reflect on running for office and governing

Segment 2 - Political consultants discuss Democratic and Republican campaign strategies

  • Crysal Fincher, Democratic Political Consultant, Founder & Principal at Fincher Consulting, LLC
  • Alex Hays, Republican Political Consultant, Principal at AB HAYS
