Under election rules, a candidate who receives a majority of the vote in the June 2 primary will win the seat outright. If no candidate secures a majority, the top two vote-getters will advance to a November runoff.
David Taub of GV Wire will moderate the forum, which will focus on each candidate’s vision for District 3 and plans to address key community issues.
The debate will be live-streamed on GV Wire’s Facebook page, allowing the public to tune in and hear directly from the candidates.
The production is made possible through a collaboration with CMAC, Fresno’s Community Media Access Collaborative.
