Charles R. Gerow is a prominent political consultant, commentator, and lawyer in Pennsylvania.

Gerow holds a law degree from Villanova University School of Law and has been an attorney for over 25 years.[1] He worked as a member of the field staff for the 1980 Reagan campaign.[2] He has performed advance work for 6 other presidential campaigns since then.[2] In 1986, Gerow ran to represent the 10th senatorial district in the Pennsylvania Senate, losing the Republican primary to Jim Greenwood.[3] He was an Alternate Delegate At Large at the 1988 Republican National Convention.[2] In 1989, he helped to found the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference.[4] During the 1996 presidential election, Gerow was a surrogate speaker for Bob Dole.[2] In 2000, he was a candidate in the 2000 Republican primary to represent Pennsylvania's 19th congressional district, where he lost to Todd Russell Platts.[5]

He has taught as an adjunct professor at Lebanon Valley College, Dickinson College and Gettysburg College.[1] He works as a political analyst for WHP-TV in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.[1] He regularly hosts his own radio talk shows and has appeared as a political commentator on NBC, ABC, and several national radio programs.[1] He was the subject of a feature on CNN’s “Inside Politics” television program and regularly appears on C-SPAN and Pennsylvania Cable Network.[1] He has been named a "Commissioned Colonel" in the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels.[1]

In 2005, the political website PoliticsPA posted a tongue-in-cheek feature similar to Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.[3] The feature was called The Six Degrees of Charlie Gerow, where the editors connected Gerow to various celebrities, including Hillary Clinton and Jessica Simpson.[3] In 2010, Politics Magazine named him one of the most influential Republicans in Pennsylvania.[6]

He is the owner of Quantum Communications, a political communication and consulting firm, where he participated in "strategy development."[1] He was a spokesman for filmmaker Carlton Sherwood during the controversy surrounding Sherwood's anti-John Kerry film Stolen Honor.[3][7] He fellow conservative activist Jeff Lord, who works with Gerow at Quantum Communications, founded QubeTV, a conservative alternative to Youtube.[8] He also represented the electronic voting machine company Accupoll in their attempts to sell voting machines in Pennsylvania following passage of the Help America Vote Act.[3] Gerow was treasurer of "Citizens for a Stronger Pennsylvania," a political action committee created to oppose expansion of gambling in Pennsylvania; he later represented "Bring our Taxes Home," a group created to expand gaming in Pennsylvania.[3]

On November 15, 2009 Gerow was chosen to head the transition team for Harrisburg, PA mayor-elect Linda Thompson, the first African-American female ever elected to the office.
