Pandemic forces political campaigns to find new ways to reach voters

Pandemic forces political campaigns to find new ways to reach voters

After taking a two-month hiatus to focus resources on daily reporting related to the pandemic, reporter Isaac Jahns is back hosting the Rochester Rundown. For the reboot of the podcast, Isaac dives into campaigning through Covid-19: what political candidates are doing to keep the ball rolling toward November, after the pandemic threw their entire playbook out the window. We hear from local candidates and campaign managers in races from city council to Capitol Hill. Their strategies for reaching voters, plus recaps of the top stories from the week — all in this week’s podcast.

As a reminder, new episodes of the Rochester Rundown can also be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and other leading podcast services.
