Cubberley PTA and the Serra Mesa Community Council are co-sponsoring a District 7 City Council Candidate Forum on Wednesday, January 22, 6:30-8:30 pm, at Cubberley Elementary School, 3201 Marathon Drive. The forum will be moderated by the League of Women Voters according to their guidelines. District 7 encompasses Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, Grantville, Linda Vista, Mission Valley, San Carlos, Serra Mesa, and Tierrasanta.

As the result of 2017 state legislation California becomes one of 14 states to hold primaries on “Super Tuesday”, March 3. Mail-in ballots will distributed in February. Consequently, if you haven’t already selected a city council candidate, this forum is for you. It’s a chance to meet the candidates, ask questions, and find out their position on issues – citywide and locally. If you can’t attend the forum but have a question you want asked, please email communitycouncil@serramesa.org.

The two candidates who receive the most votes in the primary advance to the general election in November. The city council representative is extremely important for Tierrasanta since we tend to keep representatives for a long time. In the last 18 years we’ve only had three representatives - Scott Sherman, Lorie Zapf (representative for only 4 years because her residence changed to another district as a result of redistricting), and Donna Frye.
The forum is open to all - invite your friends and neighbors!
