Davis City Council Candidates Converse with Delaine Eastin
Former CA Superintendent of Public Instruction and Davis resident Delaine Eastin will moderate an evening of conversation with the five candidates vying for two Davis City Council seats.
The forum takes place Monday, Sept. 26 in Davis Community Chambers, and will be recorded for later viewing[1]. Eastin will speak with District 4 Candidates–former Mayor Gloria Partida and Adam Morrill–from 6:30-7:20 pm. District one candidates including Councilmember Dan Carson, Kelsey Fortune and Bapu Vaitla are scheduled from 7:30-9 pm.
Event sponsors include Indivisible Yolo, Yolo Democratic Socialists of America, and Yolo People Power. Indivisible Yolo focuses on holding elected officials accountable; informing candidates and citizens on representative democracy and progressive values; and encouraging elected officials to actively participate in proposing, enacting, and implementing laws that advance progressive values. Yolo Democratic Socialists of America is a member-funded, member-run, and democratic organization that fights for a political agenda that puts working people at the center. Yolo People Power is a network of activists who engage the public to envision and advocate for a community safety model which ensures human dignity, access to fundamental needs, and harm reduction.
Opening questions have been generated by the sponsoring groups, and Eastin will add her own follow-up questions. “We have selected this conversational format to leverage Dr. Eastin’s vast political experience and intellect, and to create lively discussion so voters can discover candidates’ policy objectives and personalities,” said Francesca Wright of the Yolo People Power coordinating team.
Nonprofit community media center Davis Media Access (DMA) serves as media co-sponsor and will record the event for later viewing on DCTV Channel 15 Comcast in Davis, and on demand at https://davismedia.org. Each election season, DMA partners with community organizations as part of its countywide election coverage.
The event is free and open to the public. Wearing masks is requested, as there will be persons from immune-compromised households in attendance. Kindly park in visitor-only parking for no longer than two hours or on A Street for up to three hours. For more information about the event, please contact yolopeoplepower@gmail.com.
