San Francisco’s Next Congress Member? The Candidates Debate

Candidates for San Francisco’s congressional seat meet live onstage for their most consequential debate before this year’s primary. San Francisco City Supervisor Supervisor Connie Chan, former political advisor and software engineer Saikat Chakrabarti, and California State Senator Scott Wiener will present their visions for the future of the city and how they would represent its interests in Washington at a pivotal political moment.

Hosted by City Arts & Lectures, the Commonwealth Club, KQED, and Manny’s, and moderated by KQED’s Scott Shafer and Sydney Johnson, the debate will explore issues facing city, including housing and affordability, climate policy, immigration, economic inequality, and the role of San Francisco in national politics.

Join us at the historic Sydney Goldstein Theater for a chance to hear where the candidates stand and how their approaches to leadership differ as San Francisco prepares to choose its next representative in Congress.
