League District 2 Forum
The League of Women Voters is urging SLO County voters to get ready to vote in the upcoming Primary Election on June 2 by learning about the candidates for county supervisor and their positions on the issues important to our community.
The League is partnering with area Rotary Clubs to moderate a forum for candidates for supervisor. A forum for District 2 candidates will be held on Wednesday, April 22, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Morro Bay Vets Hall, 209 Surf Street in Morro Bay.
Candidate forums are free and open to the public. They provide an opportunity to learn about the candidates, find out their views on the issues, and ask them questions.
To make sure your voter registration is up to date, to change your registration information, or if you are new to San Luis Obispo County, to register to vote go to registertovote.ca.gov.
“As with every election, your vote is your voice and your power,” the League said in a new release. “Make your voice heard. Use your power. Register to vote and cast your ballot.”
Community members are encouraged to attend the forum and to submit questions for the candidates, Jim Dantona and Michael Erin Woody, to answer at the forum. Questions should be on the issues and applicable to both candidates.

As San Luis Obispo County experiences unusual weather events this March, it highlights the importance of planning for how future climate conditions may affect coastal transportation infrastructure and mobility in the Morro Bay–Los Osos corridor.

Addis Release statement on California’s Farmworkers Day
Following allegations of rape, including two women who were minors at the time, Cesar Chavez, the California Legislature will move to change the name of the state holiday named for the labor leader.
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, (D-Hollister), on March 8 announced that he will work with Senate President pro Tem Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) to change the holiday’s name to Farmworkers Day
Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) issued the following statement, “I am grateful for the strength of the Chavez survivors, and to survivors everywhere, for their strength and courage, and I am proud to support the Legislature’s efforts to help California begin to heal with a state holiday for farmworkers.
“Farmworkers’ rights, giving people a voice, and ensuring fair treatment takes collective effort and that’s what the movement has always been — thousands rising up for fairness. It is vital that now California doubles-down on preserving existing pathways to justice for child sex abuse survivors and continues to strengthen our protection so that time is never a barrier for those seeking justice.”
Assemblymember Addis will support the legislation following its introduction.
