Six of the seven candidates on the March 5th ballot have agreed to the Thursday forum: Ted Williams, Mike Greer, Rusty Hicks, Chris Rogers, Ariel Kelley, and Frankie Myers. The 2d District stretches from Marin County in the south to Humboldt in the north.

Two candidates will appear on Friday for the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors race: Bernie Norvell and Georgina Avila-Gorman. Each candidate will be given 3 minutes for opening and closing statements, and each will have 2 minutes to answer questions from the audience gathered by League members, Peggy Smith and Jane Person, and read by the moderator.
