With the June 8th
Primary Election quickly approaching, the Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce
(YSCC) has partnered with the North Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
(NVHCC), Appeal-Democrat and KUBA Radio to host a "Candidates Forum Series."
The five-event
series will kick-off with a debate between former Assemblymen Rick Keene and
Doug LaMalfa, both running for the State Senatorial District 4 seat currently
held by Sen. Sam Aanestad. This event will be held on Thursday, March 11, at
the Yuba County Supervisors Chambers - Government Center,
915 8th Street,
Marysville.
The forum events
will all be moderated by Bob Harlan
of KUBA Radio, and Angel Diaz, NVHCC Chair. Len La Barth, Appeal-Democrat Editor,
will be the emcee. Doors Open at 6 p.m.; the 90-minute forum begins at 6:30
p.m. The series will offer attendees the opportunity to submit questions in a
moderated town hall format.
On the drive home
from work, listeners can tune into KUBA Radio for the live broadcast on either
AM 1600 or FM 95.5. For those who are more web-savvy, the events will be
broadcast via live streaming video by the Appeal-Democrat. Viewers will be able
to log onto the Appeal-Democrat web site and submit
questions via live blogging during the event. By providing this alternative
method for participation, voters get a greater chance to be engaged in the
political process.
This partnership
provides a great opportunity for both the Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce and
the North Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to join forces to bring together
the local business community and to provide a venue where candidates can
address voters' concerns.
We are asking local businesses and organizations to
help sponsor the Candidates Forum Series. Sponsorship levels are from a low of
$500 for one event to a full sponsorship for the entire series at $2,000.
Sponsor benefits will include print and online recognition. For sponsorship information,
please contact Debbie Baggett at 749-4784.
