A row of trophies given to winners at Voice of San Diego's Politifest 2025 Solutions Showdown on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025. / Vito di Stefano for Voice of San Diego

San Diego leaders were ready to rumble last week!

Rather than fighting with their fists, they presented policy ideas and solutions, and participated in spicy debates at Voice of San Diego’s Politifest 2025 Solutions Showdown.

At the end of our event, our podcast crew recorded a live podcast at the University of San Diego on Saturday, Oct. 4. They invited winners of the Solutions Showdown onto the stage to elaborate on the solutions they presented.

Here’s who joined us on the show: San Diego Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera, Iain De Jong with OrgCode Consulting, the city of San Diego’s Behavioral Health Officer Dr. Aaron Meyer and Cajon Valley Union School District Superintendent David Miyashiro.
