Los Angeles candidate forum on April 1

On Monday, April 1, a group of Los Angeles-area environmental organizations will host a Los Angeles Candidate Forum on the Environment, Transportation, and the Economy. The forum will be held in the Yosemite Hall at the California Endowment from 9:00am to 4:00pm.

In recognition of the connection between the City and its Eastern Sierra watershed, the Mono Lake Committee is an event endorser. With the heated race for LA Mayor garnering lots of press, this is a chance to hear from candidates running for other City positions. The forum will enlist all council district races (districts 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13), and the candidates running for city attorney and controller. A panel will interview the candidates, the candidates will have time to speak on prepared questions, and they’ll also be asked impromptu questions from the audience.

The forum will be video-recorded, edited, and distributed via YouTube and Channel 36 TV so that community members can hear candidate positions before they vote.

If you’re interested in attending the forum, please RSVP today.
