The Mayor of America's Most Livable City

Adena Ishii

Adena Ishii is one of America's youngest mayors—that too, of its most livable city, Berkeley.

But the most interesting thing about her? She does not sound like any politician you've ever heard. Join us for an earnest and optimistic conversation about the lost idea of "public service," Bad Bunny and the Democrats' "fun deficit" problem, whether California is truly a hellhole, and a newly forming millennial vision for what government can still do for people.
