Sick of politics? Given the nastiness of the midterm elections, it’s no wonder. But for a refreshing change of pace, check out UCSD’s Conference on Ethics, Transparency and Civility. The three-part series features elected Democrats and Republicans candidly sharing what it’s like to serve in office and how most members do get along with one another but are frustrated by outsiders who tar them as eternal adversaries. This series debunks common stereotypes of politicians as members of the San Diego City Council, the California State Legislature and the U.S. Congress swap stories with political activists and UC San Diego professors about their challenges in carrying out the people’s business.
