This is a candidate interview, not a speech. PSAR members get the floor to press a statewide candidate on the issues that hit our business: first-time buyer programs, mortgage bond allocations, transfer tax proposals, and how state financial policy shapes what gets built in San Diego County. Candidates remember the rooms where they got real questions. Make this one of them.
Bring your phone. A photo with a potential Lieutenant Governor is a good addition to your file, and it makes for a strong post when you tell your clients you were in the room advocating for them.
