This weekend, IVN will be attending Voice of San Diego's annual [Politifest](http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/politifest/?ref=ivn.us) event in San Diego, where community groups and political organizations come together to discuss politics that shape the future of San Diego.

Taking place at Ingram Plaza in Liberty Station, Politifest 2012 will have a beer garden, live music, a kid-friendly zone, and of course, politics. Among the events taking place, there will be a Mayoral debate between the candidates, City Councilman [Carl DeMaio](https://ivn.us/san-diego/tag/carl-demaio/) and Congressman [Bob Filner](https://ivn.us/san-diego/tag/bob-filner/). The San Diego mayoral race is shaping up to be a close race, and Voice of San Diego welcomes its readers to submit questions for the debate [here](http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/politifest/debate/?ref=ivn.us). Congressional candidate Scott Peters will also take the stage to discuss some of the issues facing San Diego.

In preparation for this weekend's event, we've created this [list](https://twitter.com/i/?ref=ivn.us#!/JaneSusskind/politifest-2012) of Politifest 2012 attendees. We'll be tweeting throughout the event on both [@IVN\_CA](https://twitter.com/IVN%5FCA?ref=ivn.us) and [@IVNSD](https://twitter.com/IVNSD?ref=ivn.us) using the hashtag **#indyvote**.
