Ron Elving's coverage is heavily focused on U.S. politics with a significant emphasis on legal policy regulation and government announcements. He frequently covers the activities of Congress, political leaders, and related events. This suggests that he would be interested in receiving pitches from experts who can provide insightful commentary or analysis on recent legislative actions, government policies, and their impact.
Given his focus on national politics in the United States, outreach should center around individuals with expertise in U.S. governance, legislation processes or those who have insights into specific political incidents involving prominent figures within the country.
It’s important to note that Ron Elving does not appear to cover international politics extensively; therefore any pitches should primarily relate to domestic U.S. political affairs or issues directly relevant to them such as Supreme Court decisions or regulatory changes impacting American policy-making.
