Sixth Assembly District Candidate's Forum Set for Jan. 19 at SSU

A free public forum for the Sixth Assembly District candidate race in will be held from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 in Sonoma State University's Evert B. Person Theatre.

The Sixth District Assembly representative, Joe Nation, cannot run because of term limits. Because the district is predominantly Democratic, the competition in the primary elections for the Democratic candidate is extremely important, say organizers.

The candidates are John Alden, Cynthia Murray, Damon Connolly, Jared Huffman, and Pamela Torliatt.

The forum is sponsored by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at SSU as well as the Sonoma County Democratic Central Committee - Candidate Search Committee, Sonoma County Democracy for America, Progressives Sonoma County, Santa Rosa Democratic Club, Sonoma County Latino Democratic Club and the Sixth Assembly District Democratic Committee.

For more information, contact Kathleen Shaffer, (707) 696-0664. Parking at the University is $2.50.
