I’m excited to tell you Hotline’s annual Political Pursuit is just around the corner. But before we get to the main event, we’re trying something new this year – we’re giving you the opportunity to match wits with Chuck Todd, Amy Walter, Tom Davis, Martin Frost and our all-star panel of members of Congress!

Put together your best trivia team and join us on April 17, this coming Tuesday, for a play-in trivia contest at Pour House, just a few blocks from the House office buildings, featuring guest quiz-master/House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy!

The stakes are high: The winning team will get a spot on the podium at Political Pursuit, the following week, and the chance to vie for the coolest trophy you’ll ever put on your desk, the much-sought after Hotline Political Genius trophy.

But first you have to beat the stiff competition. So join us on April 17 at 7pm at Pour House, have a beer and have it out with your fellow Hotline readers and Hill staffers. Please RSVP here— and feel free to forward to your friends on the Hill (please note the ethics rules at the RSVP site). Feel free to ask me any questions you like, and I’ll look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
