And it’s two candidates vying for the District Four seat, incumbent Sue Hoek and Calvin Clark, who is also part of efforts to recall the entire Board.

There’s also a media panel, including representatives from the Union, YubaNet, and KNCO. The Auditor-Controller forum, along with candidates for the Nevada City Council, is on Thursday. A Clerk-Recorder forum is on May 3rd, one for Megan Dahle’s Assembly seat is May fourth, and the Assessor forum is on May 5th. Meanwhile, Bedayn says efforts have been unsuccessful so far for putting together a Congressional District Three forum.
