Candidate Forum

Remember Carson, California? Thanks to redistricting, it’s been cut into two districts. On Oct. 6, Cal State University, Dominguez Hills will host the new 69th District candidates, Al Austin and Josh Lowenthal. CA-44th Congressional District Rep. Nannette Barragán will discuss her plan to bring Eco Power to the Port of Los Angeles. Finally, there is the battle for the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department with candidates Alex Villanueva and Robert Luna taking part.

The Los Angeles murder rate is at a 15-year high. One third of the deaths are Black. There are over 46,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County and yet the funding for the Sheriffs Department has been lowered and the state wants to close two prisons. CSUDH is planning a conversation on the future that gives San Pedro Bay residents an opportunity to ask the questions that matter to them, before they cast their ballots on Nov. 8. University Heights Homeowners Association President, Charlotte Brimmer will host while Director, School of Public Service & Justice, Clarence Agustus Martin, J.D., Ph.D. will moderate.
