To get involved in local government or follow the news, you need to understand why local politics are the way they are. So in this episode, we're going to hit you with some (short) history.

We're going to go back about 18 years — roughly when the region's newest voters were being born. We'll guide you through the scandals that shaped San Diego, explain how the region's leadership shifted from predominantly Republican to Democrat and share tales of those who have risen to power and shaped the region.
