About this event
Join the League of Women Voters of North County San Diego and the LWV of San Diego to hear three experts discuss the ways money and politics influence local entities. Our panel is:
-
Brian Adams, of the SDSU Political Science Department. His book: Campaign Finance in Local Elections: Buying the Grassroots examines whether the campaign finance system undermines the capacity of local elections to enhance the democratic character of American elections;
- Lucas Robinson, investigative reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune. His work has covered politics, the courts, schools and the pandemic. He will report on his recent investigation of SANDAG's failure to reform no-bid contracting.
- David Edward Burke, founder of Citizens Take Action. This nonprofit supports policies and programs that enhance the voices of individuals within our political system. As an attorney, he has worked in Congress, coordinated statewide ballot initiatives, and clerked for two Superior Court judges, among other nonprofit work.
The public is invited; a Q&A session will follow; light refreshments will be served.
