Meet Rob Prah Jr., former State House candidate and author of "Running Out of Time: Chasing Red, White, and Blue." Rob and Jesse talk about the challenges of running for office during the early days of COVID-19, the shifting political landscape of Southwestern Pennsylvania, the importance of a strong family and friends support network, and how to deal with vitriolic voters who can't seem to look past your political affiliation.
Purchase Rob's book, Running Out of Time: Chasing Red, White, and Blue, at Amazon.
Created for his daughter to detail his run for public office, Running Out of Time: Chasing Red, White, and Blue chronicles this pursuit by Robert Prah, Jr. during a very challenging time in a district that has been historically "blue" forever.
It details his personal story of running for the Pennsylvania state legislature and the challenges he faced, especially from previous relationships and social media. It talks about being the "underdog" running against a lifelong Democrat-turned-Republican, where, according to many polls, Prah was favored to win the special election. The author also highlights how several committee members, past candidates, and elected officials have changed their political affiliation in recent years.
Robert Prah, Jr. is an Army Veteran, Army Reserve Officer, Commander of the American Legion, life member of the VFW, and an educator. He enjoys running, biking, working out, scuba diving, sports, traveling, and spending time with his family. His interests include education, advocacy, and helping Veterans and their families. He and his wife have one daughter. Prah has a graduate degree in Law & Public Policy, with a concentration in homeland security. He is active in veterans service organizations, an adjunct criminal justice faculty member, and Director of Military & Veterans Affairs at a College in SWPA.
