Dist. 2 Supervisor candidates Michael Erin Woody (left) and Jim Dantona will square off in an April 22 forum Dist. 2 Supervisor Forum, 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 at the Moro Bay Vet’s Hall.
Candidates for the Dist. 2 County Supervisor seat will square off in a League of Women Voters forum in Morro Bay.
The LWV Forum is set for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 at the Morro Bay Vet’s Hall, 209 Surf St. The forum will be streamed live on slo-span.org and available to watch afterwards on the League’s YouTube Channel — see: www.youtube.com/@lwvsloco.
Dist. 2 is a match up between Jim Dantona and Michael Erin Woody to replace long-time Supervisor Bruce Gibson, who is retiring from the position he’s held since 2007.
It will be the first chance for voters in Morro Bay, Los Osos and much of SLO to vote for Dist. 2 County Supervisor since 2018.
The LWV is partnering with local Rotary Clubs to put on the forum, which is free to attend and open to the public. Arrive early to get a seat, as this promises to be SRO.
“Candidate forums,” the LWV said on its website, “are intended to provide the public with an opportunity to learn about the candidates and their views on the issues. Community members are encouraged to attend the forum and to submit questions for the candidates at the forum. Questions should be on the issues and applicable to all candidates.”
How these forums normally work is audience members are asked to write down questions for the candidates to answer. Each candidate gets a few minutes to make an opening and a closing statement, and a few minutes to answer each question, trading off who goes first with each question.
The forums are strictly timed and orderly, and run by LWV members.
Participating Rotary Clubs are: the Rotary Club of SLO, Rotary Club of SLO de Tolosa, Rotary Club of Cambria, Rotary Club of SLO Daybreak, and Rotary Passport Club of the Central Coast.
“The League of Women Voters encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
“The League neither supports nor opposes political parties or candidates.”
