A sharp contrast in tone at the latest of the candidate forums before the June election.

Candidates answered questions from the audience and the media, with many of the Clerk Recorder candidates fielding questions about voter security and mostly election-related topics. Jennings and Newell answered questions ranging from drug court to murder cases. About 75 people in attended the event at the Rood Center, with many staying for both forums. The League of Women Voters will hold a candidates forum each Thursday during the month of April. Next week will feature candidates challenging Republican Doug LaMalfa for Congress.
