This is what it’s like to be in the epicenter of California politics.

Today’s episode is from the 2018 California Democratic Party State Convention in San Diego with Dan and his mom. The state convention is where politics and activism converge.

Dan Gordon talks with candidates seeking his endorsement about single-payer healthcare, hears from delegates in the endorsement process, and sees firsthand how our democracy works at the party level.

Guests: Delaine Eastin Candidate for Governor of California, Jess Phoenix for US Congress CA-25 running against GOP Rep. Steve Knight, Ankur Patel for California State Assembly District 45, Somerset Waters, Jon Schnitzer, Scott Svonkin for Board of Equalization District 3, Eden McFadden, Ryan Khojasteh for US Congress CA-12 running against Nancy Pelosi, Nohemi Tungui of Food & Water Watch and Action, Mary Ann Cox, Dr. Ron Birnbaum, and Senator Ricardo Lara for Insurance Commissioner.

And, yes, his mom flew out to do this with him.
