In the second episode of the San Diego Politics Show<\/a>, presented by Times of San Diego<\/a>, we dive into some of City Hall\u2019s biggest fights and California\u2019s biggest elections.<\/p>\n

For this week\u2019s extended interview, I talked to Chris Cate, the president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. His lobbying effort against a proposed tax on short-term vacation rentals helped kill the effort at a City Council committee. At the same time, the Chamber ended up in a dispute with labor groups<\/a> over job postings on the Chamber\u2019s website for a company that runs detention centers.<\/p>\n

For the panel segment, show host Matt Strabone led a discussion with me and Sara Libby, the San Francisco Chronicle\u2019s politics editor, on how the races for the 48th Congressional District and California governor are shaping up.<\/p>\n

Give it a watch and subscribe to our YouTube page \u2014 we\u2019ll be up with a new episode every other Sunday from here until the June primary.<\/p>\n
