The Race for Mayor 2011

Don't miss a rare opportunity to get face to face with all 16 mayoral candidates of San Francisco and hear them address the issues you come face to face with every day: Muni, parks, pensions, open government, the budget and more. INFORUM and the Summer of Smart are teaming up to produce the electoral event in the race for the city's mayor. In this 90-minute program, candidates will get up on one stage to discuss the topics San Franciscans are concerned about most. Ask them your own questions, and hear the Summer of Smart’s contest winners present their own innovative ideas to the mayoral candidates on how to address some of San Francisco’s most important issues. This is a night you don’t want to miss!
