Every two years, something amazing happens. Perhaps more important than newly elected leaders, passed initiatives, updated ordinances and a collective national exercise to uphold our republic ... is the Voice of San Diego Podcast Election Draft!

As ever, the week before an election is a chance for us to hop on the mic and lay down our picks. Each host had two draft picks: These are local contests for which we are most excited to see results. In this episode, we pick the contests, explain our reasoning and discuss what the results could mean for San Diego politics.

This is our last show before our election special, which will drop the morning after Election Day. Stay subscribed to catch our vibe.

Plus: Political mailers. The Padres Goose. Football coaches.
