This Week in Washington - Special Coverage: 2022 Midterm Elections, November 8, 2022 Election Day is upon us, and we’ll all be waiting to see the returns tonight and in the coming days. Today’s special edition of This Week in Washington provides some context for the current state of politics, the races, and the public’s sentiment.

This Week in Washington - October 26, 2022

This is the last edition before the November 8th midterm election, so we are using a different format.

Steven H. Gordon's Heard on the Hill column looks at the upcoming senatorial and congressional elections from the perspective of a former Republican political consultant and now managing partner of Total Spectrum. Patrick Robertson's Washington Whispers column looks at the upcoming elections from his perspective as a Democratic attorney and lobbyist who served as deputy chief of staff for former Senator Jay Rockefeller and managed the 2008 Rockefeller for Senate reelection campaign.

We have included an encore presentation of Congressman Erik Paulsen's June 1st interview of Charlie Cook for Total Spectrum Spotlight. Steven was introduced to Charlie in 1986, two years after he founded The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, which is both independent and non-partisan. He’s the dean of political journalism – and for a good reason. This interview still gets viewers and generates compliments, so we hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch it – or watch it again. It will be time well spent.

The Total Spectrum team is working now to bring you a post-election analysis as well as an introduction to the lame duck session and the next Congress. More on that special edition soon.

Please vote. From the left or from the right, it’s the right thing to do.

Access to medical services is a priority for all. While and health have been in use since the 1950s, demand for these services exploded during the pandemic when broad waivers enabled greater access to virtual care. In fact, the CDC reported earlier this year that one in four surveyed had used services in the prior month.

The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) is focused on advancing telehealth and working to change the way the world thinks about healthcare. They aim to ensure access to safe, affordable, and effective care when and where it is needed.

Congressman Erik Paulsen recently spoke with Kyle Zebley, ATA’s Vice President of Public Policy about the benefit of broadening access to healthcare using technology and the need to protect its use for future populations.
