UC, Capitol Weekly offer post-mortem conference on general election

The University of California Sacramento Center and Capitol Weekly are jointly sponsoring a conference Thursday on the results of Tuesday’s general election.

The informal event will be held Nov. 4 in the Crest Theatre, 1013 K Street, main level, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

There will be two panels of experts and a luncheon event. 

The first panel, looking at ballot propositions and related issues, is scheduled to begin at 9:15 a.m. and continue through 10:30 a.m. After a 15-minute break, the second panel, which will examine candidate-related issues, will convene and meet until noon.

A box lunch will be served at noon and a luncheon discussion is planned. Registration is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Crest. The event costs $99 per person.

Questions from the audience are encouraged.

The participants include A.G. Block, Jim Brulte, Robert Huckfeldt, Gale Kaufman, Susan Kennedy, Adam Mendelsohn, John Myers, Tony Quinn, Sal Russo, George Skelton, Garry South and Anthony York.
