For the second year in a row, Federation's Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and Jewish Family Service (JFS), brought the San Diego Jewish community together to hear from candidates in an important local election, and share our perspective about the issues we care most about. Nearly 40 community partner organizations and over 85 attendees connected with Congressman Peters and former Councilmember DeMaio in this important pre-election event.

From hearing about the candidate’s stances on Israel to understanding the core values that guide their service—we had a unique opportunity to get answers to our most pressing questions. Although differing in their perspectives, both candidates agreed upon two items — supporting Israel and the importance of voting.
