Sen. Schiff Takes Questions From Point Loma High Students
U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff visited Point Loma High School on Oct. 15, 2026, where he answered questions from students. The visit grew out of a senior's civics project developed with Rep. Sara Jacobs' office and an invitation from the San Diego Unified superintendent. Schiff discussed online misinformation and his bill on influencer disclosures, then spoke with reporters about election security ahead of the midterms.
Sen. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, visited Point Loma High School on Oct. 15, 2026, after senior Molly Gallagher’s civics assignment, created with Rep. Sara Jacobs’ office, prompted an invitation from San Diego Unified Superintendent Fabiola Bagula. The district said no U.S. senator had visited one of its schools in 13 years.
Schiff told students that schools should teach how to judge online information. He also described his influencer disclosure measure, which would require paid online promoters to reveal their financial backers. Later, he met reporters with San Diego congressional Democrats to discuss election preparations and ICE activity near schools.
The visit may show students, especially those nearing voting age, how lawmakers address misinformation and election security. It could encourage more civic projects and school-based political engagement in San Diego. For broader audiences, Schiff’s remarks and the delegation’s focus on ICE enforcement could shape local debate, though a single school event is unlikely to shift national policy.
