During election years, we emphasize candidates and ballot measures. In non-election years, we focus on the most important topics that drive public policy and community conversation. For 2022, we’re hosting a robust schedule of debates and panels at the University of San Diego, including an important discussion on homelessness with Mayor Todd Gloria and Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher and a highly anticipated statewide ballot initiative primer with our friends at CalMatters.
