It’s been a long road, but the race to the White House is coming down to the wire.

Ross Reynolds gathered a panel of prominent Republicans to share reflections on the state of their party. The wide-ranging discussion began with a question: What does it means to be a Republican in today’s political landscape, on a local and national level?

The panel included current Republican Senatorial candidate Chris Vance; State Representative Matthew Manweller, professor of political science at Central Washington University and former chair of the Kittitas County Republican Party; former Republican Attorney General of Washington Rob McKenna; and morning host at 570 KVI and political activist John Carlson.

This discussion took place at Resonance Events in Bellevue on June 30. Listen to the full event below.
