Wesley K. Trimble

Manager, Government Affairs

Wesley is the newest member of Commonwealth Strategic Partners (CSP), joining the team in  2021 as Manager, Government Affairs. New to federal advocacy, he previously served as an  intern in both the world of advocacy and the world of campaigning in the Pennsylvania political  landscape. 

Wesley’s career in politics began with an internship at Harrisburg-based environmental lobbying  firm Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future, where he served as a policy intern and interacted  directly with state legislators. After graduating from Shippensburg University in 2019 with a  B.A. in political science, he joined the Congressional campaign of PA Auditor General Eugene  DePasquale in Pennsylvania’s 10^th Congressional District. He served as a field intern for nearly a  year in a hotly-contested race that garnered national attention amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Although the outcome of the election was not what they had hoped, it was hard-fought, coming  within striking distance of victory in a district with a 6-point Republican lean. Never one to shirk  from an uphill battle, Wesley moved to Washington, D.C. immediately after the election to apply  his relentless determination to the next challenge.
