Come hear from Kellan White, a veteran politics and campaign strategist in the city, who is part of the team leading Harris’ efforts in the state, with a particular focus on Philadelphia. The conversation will take place Wednesday, Sept. 18 with doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the conversation starting at 7:30 p.m.
White held the same job when President Joe Biden was the nominee and will share insights and answer questions in what we think will be a fascinating
off-the-record conversation with less than three months until Election Day.
This event is open to nonmembers but please register on the panel to the right.
