Keith Carson: Information is Power!

California Alameda County District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson moderates a variety of issue-based discussions involving local government personnel, Alameda County agencies, non-government organizations, and community based organizations covering public health, public protection, social services, and state and national politics. Keith breaks down complex political jargon down to its fundamental elements connecting you to information that directly affects your everyday lives. Keith brings to the table a progressive view on sometimes controversial topics pushing the envelope and staying ahead of the curve.
