Congressional Candidate Debate

Bookshop West Portal is hosting a debate between the two candidates running for Congressional Representative of CA’s 11th District, Supervisor Connie Chan and Senator Scott Weiner. This seat, previously occupied by now-retired Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, represents the city of San Francisco.

The bookshop has a tradition of hosting political candidates for Q&A’s during election cycles as a service to our community, to uphold civic discourse and ensure our community is politically informed. In that spirit, this event is FREE and open to the public.

San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan and State Senator Scott Weiner will debate at 6pm on Saturday, October 10th.

This event will be moderated and will not include an audience Q&A portion. Our aim is for you to walk away with a better understanding of each candidate’s positions and policies.

A FREE RSVP is required, and we will be checking confirmations at the door. This will sell out quickly. Seating is first come, first served, and we anticipate standing room only, so please take commute time and parking difficulty into account.

If you wish to submit ONE question in advance to be considered as a debate topic/question, please do so through this . We respectfully ask that you keep any questions to their responsibilities as a national representative, as local issues are the responsibility of our district supervisors and city council.
