About this episode
The episode discusses the California Primary season and features a draft of the most interesting races among the hosts.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! For us at least. It’s California Primary season and we bring back our Voice of San Diego Primary Election draft. Each of our hosts went through and picked the races they were most curious and interested in. Andrea highlights the wide-open City Council District 8 race featuring four Democratic candidates. Jakob tracks how the California Teachers Association is spending millions to back Richard Barrera. Bella is watching the proposed tax on non-primary and corporate-owned homes and thinks it will pass due to anti-billionaire sentiment, despite a lot of realtor pushback. Scott details how Carl DeMaio is using strategic expenditures and deceptive voter guides in the State Senate District 50 and Board of Supervisors District 5 races to settle political grudges.
