Event Details

Your voice. Your vote. Our community’s future.

The race for San Francisco’s representative in U.S. Congress is on — and this forum gives you the chance to hear directly from the people asking for your vote.

The stakes are high. The top two vote-getters in the June primary for California’s 11th Congressional district (CA-11) will advance to the general election in November. Who makes it through is up to you.

This is a candidate forum, not a debate. Candidates will answer questions about the issues and policies that matter to our city, state, and nation. When you register, you can submit a question for consideration. Candidates who meet LWVSF’s eligibility criteria for this forum are invited to participate.

This nonpartisan forum is free and open to the public. Attend in person or watch online. The livestream link and event recording will be shared with everyone who registers.

Registration required to attend in person: For security reasons, you must register before the event and bring an ID, which will be checked at the door.

Nonpartisan event requirements: You may not wear clothing or buttons supporting any candidate, political party, or ballot measure, and may not bring campaign signs or materials into the venue.

Accessibility: The in-person venue is accessible to people who use mobility devices. The livestream will be closed captioned.

Getting to the venue: Muni 15, 22, 48, 91, and T. Paid parking at the venue, with accessible parking available.
