Candidates Forum

VIEW EVENT FLYER

With election season right around the corner, the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Candidates Forum, featuring the city council candidates. The forum, which is a free event and open to the public, will be held in the Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Pleasanton on Friday, September 9 from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m.
 
Mayor Jerry Thorne is being challenged by Julie Testa. For the two seats open on the Council, Incumbents Karla Brown and Jerry Pentin are seeking re-election. Herb Ritter, current chair of the Planning Commission, is also running.

The candidates will face questions about community priorities, including the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone, transportation, water, workforce housing and civic center/library and the downtown specific plan to help business leaders as well as community members learn of the differences between candidates.
