Our Presidential Primary Process TownHall Forum was a great success. The turnout was over 150 students and all of our speakers were able to make it and enlighten the students on how the primaries work. The speakers Pilar Marrero, Christian Grose, Tom Le, Mickey Kaus, and Chris Tausanovitch all did a great job and were able to educate the students and helped make this event so great. We want to thank all of the speakers, Duarte Performing Arts Center, and all of the students for making in out to the event on a Saturday evening.
