The first of two BenitoLink and San Benito County Farm Bureau-sponsored forums is coming up this week at the Hollister City Council Chambers at 375 Fifth Street.
The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and is scheduled to run for about an hour and a half. Questions have been sent in by members of the community and selected by an editorial team. This is an open forum being held to help residents better understand county issues and hear first-hand from the candidates running for office.
No candidates will receive the questions prior to the event and neither BenitoLink nor the Farm Bureau will endorse candidates.
The following candidates are scheduled to attend and answer questions:
Congress, District 20
- Casey Lucius
- Jimmy Panetta
Assembly, District 30
- Anna Caballero
- Karina Cervantez-Alejo
Gavilan College Trustee
- Danielle Davenport
- Rachel Perez
San Benito Health Care Board
