From the egregious cost of living to homelessness and potholes, San Diego has no shortage of problems.
Our Politifest Solutions Showdown on Oct. 4 at University of San Diego is in search of the fixes.
We’re excited to bring you a solutions showdown between Mayor Todd Gloria, Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera and Aimee Faucett, who will be representing the a more conservative take as former chief of staff for former Mayor Kevin Faulconer. I will moderate.Â
The panelists will each pitch a package of solutions they believe will create a San Diego we can all be proud of.

Some candidates run year after year as perennial contenders and are viewed as losers, but this is not the truth. The voters are playing double jeopardy and being unwise and disingenuous. These men and women are not supported by special interests, have no million-dollar friends who donate and fundraise. They are not even supported by the two major political parties for sake of being free thinkers and not corrupt. But the voters are narrow and shallow minded for not seeing these truths. Then the recalls begin and it’s all an ironic shell game. When the voters recognize the truth, when they are not hypnotized by a biased media, we as a nation will be better off and more democratic. Dan Smiechowski will run for office until his last breath if only to prove his points and make America a better place.
