In early April, two months before the June election, Fresno City
Council and mayoral candidates will participate in two forums focused
on downtown issues.  The six hosting organizations — the Downtown
Association of Fresno, Creative Fresno, Fresno’s Leading Young
Professionals (FLYP), the Fresno Arts Council, Chinatown
Revitalization Inc., and FresnoFusion.com — have joined forces to
ensure that a broad constituency of downtown interests is represented
during this year’s important local campaigns.

To be successful, this forum needs your participation!  Please help us
by sharing your question ideas on our blog below.  From all the
questions submitted, we’ll choose about 25, submit them to the
candidates in advance, then pick several from the list to ask live at
each forum.  We need to receive all suggested questions no later than
March 12.

Then please be sure to join us for the mayoral candidates forum on
April 2, and the City Council candidates forum on April 9.  Both
events will begin with a reception at 5 p.m. in the Bankers’ Ballroom
at 1060 Fulton Mall (the former Security Bank Building), followed by
the start of debate at 5:30.  Admission is free and open to the
public, and light refreshments will be served.

You may RSVP or ask questions about the forum by emailing
candidatesforum@downtownfresno.org or calling the Downtown Association
office at (559) 490-9966.  We look forward to seeing you April 2,
April 9, and at the polls on June 3!
