Why we picked this
Four of San Francisco's most significant cultural institutions join forces to host a live congressional debate — the rare evening where local democracy feels as charged as national politics.
Candidates vying to represent San Francisco in Congress face off in a live debate at the Sydney Goldstein Theater. The event is co-presented by City Arts & Lectures, Commonwealth Club World Affairs, KQED, and Manny’s — a coalition that signals just how much is at stake in this race.
This is participatory democracy at its most direct: candidates on stage, an engaged audience, and questions that matter to the city. The Sydney Goldstein Theater, San Francisco’s premier venue for intellectual conversation, lifts this well above the typical campaign event.
