The March presidential primary election is around the corner, with ballots slated to be mailed out by Feb. 5, and there are several down-ballot races at the city and county levels that impact Fresno neighborhoods and surrounding communities.
To help voters best understand the choices on the ballot, Fresnoland, in partnership with KVPR, the League of Women Voters, and CMAC, will host two candidate forums to hear from candidates on issues that matter most to local voters.
The events will also be streamed online at CMAC.tv for those who cannot attend in person.
