Election Day is just five weeks away, with much at stake on the local ballot, with countywide races for district attorney, superior court judge, auditor-controller and clerk/recorder, as well as two supervisorial seats to be decided.
It’s a lot. Fortunately, there are a host of opportunities in the coming weeks to get to know the candidates a bit better. Chief among those are three series of candidate forums to be put on by KEET-TV and the League of Women Voters of Humboldt County (LWVHC), the Humboldt County Association of Realtors and 15 local community groups.
KEET and LWVHC’s forums will all be held from 7 to 8 p.m., except otherwise noted, and can be viewed live on KEET or streamed later on KEET’s YouTube channel. Questions can be submitted prior to the forums to leaguehumboldt@gmail.com or called into KEET the night of the forum at 445-0811.
