OPPORTUNITY ALERT....SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS

On May 3, 2014, LWVSM and LAUP are cosponsoring a candidates forum for the LA County Board of Supervisors. (see above). As has become our custom, we are asking our members to submit questions in advance of the forum. We have found that questions submitted in advance tend to cover more issues in greater depth.

Take advantage of this opportunity to have your question asked during the forum.

Candidates will have one minute to answer each question. Therefore, questions should be: short, concise, focused, nonpartisan, and directed to all candidates (not just directed to one).

DEADLINE: Send your questions to inatsugub@aol.com before Friday, April 25, 2014.

SHERIFF CANDIDATES

This forum will be Thursday, April 24, 6:30-9:30p.m. at the Church in Ocean Park, 235 Hill Street in Santa Monica.
