THE Next Wave
Where tomorrow's leaders question today's candidates — moderated by Mayor Fred Keeley
Santa Cruz's first mayoral forum with questions from elementary school students
A Civic Forum Like
No Other
Most forums exclude the new generation entirely
Candidates who can answer a child's question honestly and clearly can answer anyone. This forum forces every candidate to think about the long-term consequences of their decisions.
Children have the power to influence the parents
When a kid comes home fired up about what a candidate said, parents pay attention in a way no mailer or ad can replicate.
Practical civic skills for elementary students
Students research, draft, and deliver questions at the event. Every child who participates gains public speaking, critical thinking, and civic confidence for life.
