Public Policy Institute of California’s Mark Baldassare
You Can Find Me by the Water
Mark Baldassare is survey director at the Public Policy Institute of California, where he previously served as president and CEO. Before joining a panel for the Zócalo event “Is This What Direct Democracy Looks Like?”—presented in partnership with the Berggruen Institute, the Public Policy Institute of California, and the Pepperdine School of Public Policy—he sat down in our green room to chat statewide surveys, JFK, and stepping down as president after 15 years.
