Candidate Forum
On May 11th, the More Mesa Preservation Coalition (MMPC) hosted a Forum for all the candidates seeking the position of Second District Supervisor. About 100 people were present to hear what each candidate had to say, with regard to specific questions about More Mesa, and Open Space in general. Feedback from supporters and other members of the community was extremely positive, and media coverage (including a front page story in the News Press) was broad and balanced. Equally well received, and lauded, was our detailed reporting of the event, including all the candidates’ answers.

This feature, may be found here. (Also see our ‘Thanks” section this month to hear about people and organizations who helped create this event.)
