The day after election Governor Tom Wolf has put a lot of advertising up on broadcast media. So it goes without saying he’s running. As a matter of fact the Governor will be in town today.
Wolf is taking a page out of Governor Ed Rendell’s 2002 campaign when in December of 2001, Rendell started an ad onslaught that essentially put the Bob Casey Junior for Governor campaign at a serious disadvantage.History repeating itself.

WOMEN WE LOVE 2017 NOMINATIONS

As the year winds down, we will continue with our year end features. “Women We Love” is something we ripped off from Esquire Magazine a few years back. Each year we get nominees for outstanding women locally, statewide nationally and internationally.
The criteria is simple, quality of work, recognition of community activities, challenging positions that give them a profile both good or bad. Also, if there is a “buzz” about the type of year they are having and how that impacts on themselves as well as the community. Nominations come in via the LuLac E Mail box, Facebok and Twitter and a certain number is needed to make the cut. After that cut is dwindled, we choose the winners.
Deadline for nominations is Nov. 30th.

MEDIA MATTERS

WALN TV

LULAC IN THE MORNING 

I was very happy to join WBRE/WYOU TV Eyewitness News the morning after election. Co-anchor Chris Langois and I got our Beatles on and it was a real pleasure meeting Kelly Byrne for the first time. 

I learned a little Italian from Stefano DiPietro and wanted to thank Sam in the studio for setting me up and making me look passable for the early morning broadcasts. Sam also took this photo too!
