Program: Local Elections: Why They Matter Now with Brian Adams, Professor of Political Science at San Diego State University
Dr. Adams specializes in the study of local politics, with research examining voter behavior, campaign finance, and electoral dynamics in city council and school board elections. His work explores how candidates communicate with voters, the role of ballot cues, and the factors that influence decision-making in local contests.
His presentation will focus on how local campaigns take shape, including the importance of early engagement, fundraising, and voter outreach. As communities begin looking ahead to the upcoming midterm cycle, the discussion will provide perspective on how local races develop and why early activity can play a decisive role.
Local elections, while often less visible than state or national contests, have a direct impact on schools, governance, and community priorities. Dr. Adams’ talk will offer insight into how these elections function and what influences outcomes at the local level.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session following the presentation.

Whistle Brigade - We're Packing Whistles - AGAIN!
In January we packed 500 whistles with directions and distributed them to our workers and neighbors. The whistles alert neighbors to the presence of ICE. You just blow long and loud.
Anyone brown or black is at high risk!
Citizens- green card holders- taxpayers
the law doesn’t matter.
We’ll pack 1,000 whistles and fold flyers that we’ll
get out in Coronado and Barrio Logan and where needed. Bring food and drinks to share!
PLEASE RSVP: communications@coronadodemocrats.com
DATE: Tuesday, April 7
TIME: 3-5 PM

Coronado Dems Support No Kings March!
We are excited to provide you with “Perspectives” by member, Brad Willis. Brad has been uncovering issues in our community and country in his Substack series. He is an author and retired network news foreign correspondent who has worked in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Latin America and Asia. He has received national and international awards for compassionate journalism and for his war coverage. Brad is a longtime Coronado resident who has also served as Commissioner of Public Art for the City of Coronado.
Member, Jon Sinton, began his career in political media by bringing former Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Jim Hightower, and his no-nonsense, no holds barred commentaries to ABC Radio. That led to his creation of Air America Radio in 2004, where he is credited with “discovering” Rachel Maddow. Sinton followed AAR with ProgressiveVoices.com, a live and on-demand progressive talk audio service and its counterpart, the nonprofit Progressive Voices Institute, dedicated to bringing fresh young progressive talent to broadcast and digital platforms. He’s been writing Jon’s Reluctant Blog and newspaper column since 2020.
