SPUR invites candidates for governor of California to speak directly to our membership in this special conversation series. These events are designed to introduce candidates to the SPUR community while offering a deeper look at their policy priorities, leadership approach, and vision for California’s future. Through thoughtful, moderated one-on-one discussions, candidates will share how they would address the state’s most pressing challenges, from housing and transportation to climate resilience and economic opportunity, and how they envision leading California in the years ahead.
