6 LA Co. District 3 Candidates Will Face Off Thursday At Forum

NORTHRIDGE, CA — The six candidates for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, District 3 will face off on Thursday at a forum hosted by four local news outlets.

Come June 7, six candidates will look to replace Sheila Keuhl on the Board of Supervisors' massive 3rd District, which covers much of the San Fernando Valley and communities from Malibu to Hollywood.

The Acorn, Circling the News, the Santa Monica Daily Press and the Westside Current will co-host Thursday's forum, which will take place virtually from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday. RSVP online to watch the forum.

Some candidates have participated in forums before, but all six candidates have yet to come face-to-face to discuss key issues in the June 7 race.

With vote-by-mail ballots hitting Los Angeles County voters' mailboxes, Patch asked candidates why they were running and what key issues they will focus on if elected.

Four of the six candidates responded to Patch's questionnaire. State Sens. Bob Hertzberg (D-Sherman Oaks) and Henry Stern (D-Malibu) did not submit answers to Patch's questionnaire.

Candidates answered questions about their key priorities, their professional and political history and the best advice they ever received. Check out the candidate profiles using this link.
