Two years ago I tried to host a speaking series for candidates in the 2014 election and wow, what a pain in the ass that was! So I can really appreciate the amount of work the League of Women Voters has done to host their candidates forum series.
Here’s the link to their website –

and here’s their forum schedule – they will host candidates for Chico City Council on October 20

If you haven’t been able to make these, you can find videos on youtube. Here’s the video from the October 6 forum with candidates for assembly District 3, Chico Area Recreation District, and US representative District 1.
The race here that interests me the most is for two seats on the CARD board. Tom Lando and Michael Worley were appointed four years ago because nobody else ran for their seats. Now they face ex-CARD director and former board member Jerry Hughes and local perpetual candidate Dave Donnan. I will give it a good listen, this race is more important than most people realize.
Not that I don’t care about Assembly District 3 or US District 1, but I’m guessing those races are pretty moot. I will listen to what these people have to say, it’s just good to know where your elected leaders stand on various issues, at least for the moment.
Thanks for asking me about this Kurt, it’s a great resource the LWV is providing and I’m glad to help them spread the word.
