Debating our Future

History will be made in San Pedro when mayoral candidates will meet for the first ever political debate on January 18th. Residents of La Isla Bonita will have the opportunity to see and hear how the candidates are equipped to answer compelling questions regarding our community and what their plans are for our future.
