Encinitas Mayor Announces Series of Speeches

Given the popularity of her Oct. 15, 2019 speech titled “Increasing Suburban Density to Fight Climate Change,” Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear has announced a series of Zoom speeches she will give toward the end of her reelection campaign this year.

Blakespear will give the first speech in the series on Oct. 5, the date the county registrar of voters starts sending vote-by-mail ballots to registered voters.

She’ll give the final speech on Oct. 31, which is Halloween and the night of a blue full moon. Blakespear will announce the dates of the intervening speeches in her newsletter.

The titles of the speeches are —

“Marketing Perforated Condoms to Fight Population Growth”

“Wearing Lace Face Masks to Fight COVID-19”

“Eating Cheeseburgers and Fries to Fight Obesity”

“Selling Aphrodisiacs to Fight Promiscuity”

“Building Cycle Traps to Fight Using Cars”
