On April 17, students from Pacific Ridge School and La Jolla Country Day School joined together to host a forum for candidates in the running for California’s 49th Congressional District.
Congressional candidates that took part in the forum include Democrats Doug Applegate, Sara Jacobs, Paul Kerr and Mike Levin; Republicans Brian Maryott and Joshua Schoonover; Peace & Freedom candidate Jordan Mills; and Libertarian Joshua Hancock. The forum was moderated by the Voice of San Diego’s Scott Lewis and the students were able to ask candidates questions regarding topics such as gun safety, homelessness, border security and LBGT+ issues.
