With one week until the primary election, producer and podcaster Jamie Patricof and political strategist Mathew Littman plan to host what may be a final candidates’ forum for those seeking city, congressional and statewide office.
Each contender will get 10 minutes, with three to five minutes of rapid-fire questions from Patricof and Littman. Each candidate will be asked the same opening question: “In 60 seconds or less, this is one of your last chances to make your case to voters. What’s the single reason someone should vote for you?” Watch on Deadline
Patricof hosts the podcast Lunch with Jamie. Littman is a principal in the firm HowLitt.
The audience will be of subscribers to Jamie’s List, with signups here to register. The recording will be released as a special edition of the post later in the week.
Patricof noted that the primary is happening just as Los Angeles and California will be on the world stage with events like the World Cup and the Olympics.
Littman said, “For years I’ve brought candidates into rooms with the Hollywood community because this industry has always been a leader in shaping the national conversation. But right now the candidates need to come to the voters, not the donors. That’s what this forum is — no green room, no script, just answers.”
