Coronado Democratic Club post-election meeting

The Coronado Democratic Club will hold its next general meeting on Saturday, November 21, in the Winn Room of the Coronado Public Library. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m. for check-in and a social half-hour, with the program beginning at 11 a.m. The meeting will feature two speakers looking back at the 2026 election and what the results may mean locally and beyond. Will Rodriguez-Kennedy, Chair of the San Diego County Democratic Party, will share an election recap with results and data from San Diego County and Coronado. The Club’s featured speaker will be Dr. Carl Luna, who will present “Midterm 2026: Political Tsunami or Generational Earthquake?” Dr. Luna is professor emeritus of political science at San Diego Mesa College, a visiting professor at the University of San Diego, and director of the Institute for Civil Civic Engagement. A former Fulbright senior scholar in Russia, he has spent many years providing nonpartisan political analysis for local, national, and international media, including KPBS, the Associated Press and the BBC. The Club will also recognize local candidates and volunteers who worked throughout the election season, including Alexia Palacios-Peters, Mal Sandie, and Rebecca King, with final election certification still pending. After a very busy election year, the November meeting will give members and guests a chance to celebrate, hear what happened across San Diego County and take a broader look at where things may be headed next. The meeting is free and open to the public.
