Next City Event: Hidden in Plain Sight: Why California’s Economically Challenged Cities Matter to Government

The National Resource Network, in partnership with the University of Southern California Price School of Public Policy, invite you to the release and discussion of one of the National Resource Network’s first major policy reports, “Hidden in Plain Sight: Why California’s Economically Challenged Cities Matter to the Federal and State Government.”

Robert Shrum, veteran political consultant and the current Carmen H. and Louis Warschaw Chair in Practical Politics and professor of the practice of political science at USC Dornsife, will moderate the discussion. Please join Antonio Villaraigosa, former Mayor of Los Angeles; Mercedes Márquez, former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles; Jack Knott, Dean of the Price School of Public Policy; David Chiu, CA State Assemblymember; and others as we discuss why it is critical that we support these economically challenged cities, capitalize on their existing anchor institutions and resources, and unleash their true potential.
