Dr. Shannon Stevens is joined by two editors from The Signal (Stan State's student news outlet), Jesús Alvarado and Kristen Dias, for an in-depth discussion with Turlock Mayor Gary Soiseth about his tenure thus far as well as his plans should he win a second term in the fall 2018 election. Also present is Nathan Straubinger, a Stan State student and most recent recipient of the mayor’s Public Policy Scholarship; Nathan is the mayor’s new director of communications. Topics discussed in the 45-minute interview include water management, growth, the “Million Acts of Kindness” initiative, and the importance of supporting a robust “social infrastructure” in Turlock so all people know they are welcome here.
