Hi, this is Vanessa, your salon host.
Join us for an enlightening and interactive discussion as we unpack the outcomes of the 2026 midterm elections. Our group of political experts following the results will break down the shifts in power across federal, state and local races, and translate the raw data into tangible impacts on our daily lives.
A Few Things We’ll Discuss:
The Federal Landscape: Who has control of the U.S. House and Senate, and what the new balance of power means for executive accountability.
Ballot Propositions: How our votes on the ballot initiatives will reshape the landscape on electoral reform, housing, and the battle over taxes and wealth education.
Local Races : Dive into the down-ballot races and ballot measures that directly govern the Sacramento region
OUR GUESTS:
Lauren Chapman, politics editor for the Sacramento Bee
Rich Ehisen, editor of Capitol Weekly
Robin Epley, political reporter and columnist
Kim Nalder, professor of political science at Sac State, and director of the Project for an Informed Electorate
Bring your questions for an open, analytical conversation and what these collective results signal for the road to 2028.
Tickets are $10 general admission; $5 for students.
There will be some light refreshments; feel free to BYO.
