North County Post-Election Recap
Wednesday, November 9 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM
Green Dragon Tavern & Museum
6115 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, CA 92011
The political landscape of North County is undergoing profound changes. All five of the cities along the SR 78 corridor are now carrying out “district only” City Council elections.
Redistricting at the state and national level has grouped North County communities together with areas of Southern Orange County and the City of San Diego. The numerical difference between Republicans and Democrats has never been closer and the “nationalization” of races is having a profound effect on both partisan and nonpartisan elections.
Join us the day after the November election to hear about what the results say about North County’s political future. Our guest that day will be John Nienstedt, one of San Diego's most experienced and knowledgeable public opinion researchers. John will talk about what the results mean.
