Tonight's Topics: First 2026 Endorsement Consideration and Trump's Troublesome Tariffs

Join us for an update on the economics of the moment as club member and retired banking executive Ron Chapman brings us up to date on the situation with the economy, particularly the administration's obsession with tariffs.

Tariffs have long had political appeal, but their actual historical impact on the economy has ranged from negative to disastrous.

We'll talk about why cutting edge 15th century economic theory may not be a good fit for the current economy and where it might lead us.

Our most important business of the night, however, will be considering our first endorsement for the 2026 election cycle. San Diego City Councilperson Marni von Wilpert has announced her candidacy for California's State Senate District 40 and will be at our meeting to request our endorsement.

Club members may vote on this request if they are a registered Democrat, have paid club dues for 2025, and have attended one prior meeting in the past twelve months.

We will also hear from our member teams who are following topics including developments with the Poway City Council, immigration and labor issues.

Community Room at Creekside Plaza (behind Chipotle), 13495 Poway Rd, Poway.
