The presidential debates, as they currently stand, shouldn’t be allowed to continue before the national election. Last night’s event was neither presidential nor a debate. One national news correspondent wrote: “it was an insult to the public..”
A debate is a process that involves discussion on a particular topic. The televised event was nothing at all like that; the lingering thought was, as another correspondent put it: “what two more debates like this will accomplish is hard to imagine..”
While it’s impossible to stop the two future events, they will only create more tension without firm guidelines and restrictions on behavior and content. Our country is already teetering on the edge of uncertainty; no one needs more negativity and anger going forward.
Let’s find a way for discussion of important issues when it counts the most.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
