With election season right around the corner, the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Candidates Forum, featuring the city council and mayoral 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 Tuesday, September 16 from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m.
 
The candidates will face questions about community priorities, including transportation, water, workforce housing and unfunded pension liabilities to help business leaders as well as community members learn of the differences between candidates.
 
Mayor Jerry Thorne is being challenged by Matt Morrison.  For the two seats open on the Council, Incumbent Kathy Narum is seeking re-election. Also on the ballot are George Bowen, Arne Olson and Olivia Sanwong.
 
Moderating the forum will be David Stark, Bay East Association of REALTORS Public Affairs Director as well as Chairman of the Chamber’s Board of Directors.
