Elections Analyst Dave Wasserman is coming to Politifest 2024. Don’t miss your chance to hear from someone who knows national politics and the data it generates better than anyone.
Politifest is the highly-anticipated regional public affairs summit that highlights issues affecting San Diego, hosted by Voice of San Diego in partnership with Public Matters.
This year’s sessions will focus on the question: Can our government — state, local and federal — meet the moment? After a day filled with debates about complex state and local races, Wasserman will give Politifest attendees a review of the national race, the key states, critical trends that affect voting and what the future holds for both parties.
Confirmed sessions include:
• San Diego City Attorney Debate: Heather Ferbert vs. Brian Maienschein
• San Diego City Council District 9 Debate: Sean Elo-Rivera vs. Terry Hoskins
• San Diego Unified School Board Debate: Sabrina Bazzo vs. Crystal Trull
• Primer of State Ballot Measures
• Can Government Fix the Tijuana River? A panel discussion
• Our Housing Emergency
• The Rise of Incivility in Public
• Rent Control on the Ballot — Too little too late? See less

University of San Diego Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice
Through education, research and peacemaking activities, the Institute offers programs that advance scholarship and practice in conflict resolution and human rights. The Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of San Diego draws upon Catholic social teaching that sees peace as inseparable from justice and acts to prevent and resolve conflicts that threaten local, national and international peace. History: The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice (IPJ) at the University of San Diego was founded in 2000 with a generous gift from San Diego philanthropist Joan B. Kroc, who stipulated that the Institute not only "talk about peace, but make peace." Beginning with a Dedicatory Conference in 2001, which was attended by former Presidents Jimmy Carter of the United States and Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica, along with many other peace-builders and representatives from four conflict-affected states, the IPJ has worked to bring together the powerful and the marginalized to build strong peacebuilding coalitions.
