Election briefs: Forum for state Senate, Assembly candidates
Candidates for local state Senate and Assembly races have been invited to participate in an election forum from 7 to 9:30 p.m Wednesday, Oct. 17, at the Menlo Park City Council Chambers at 701 Laurel St. in the Civic Center.
Running for the Senate District 13 seat are Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and Sally Lieber, a former Assembly member.
Assembly candidates in District 24 are incumbent Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, and challenger Chengzhi "George" Yang, a Republican from Menlo Park.
Both districts include Menlo Park, Woodside, Atherton and Portola Valley. These legislative districts are new and represent the work of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, which voters mandated in 2008 to take redistricting out of the hands of politicians.
The League of Women Voters of South San Mateo County is hosting the forum. For more information or transportation assistance, contact Ellen Hope at ellenjhope@aol.com or 839-8647.
