One of Sacramento's hotly contested City Council races will be the subject of a forum Wednesday, as Joe Yee and Steve Hansen vie to represent downtown, Midtown and Land Park in November's election.
Yee is a longtime Sacramento resident who currently lives in Land Park, while Hansen lives downtown.
The two areas are decidedly different, and the challenge for each candidate will be how to represent both.
Each candidate has been supported by city unions. The Sacramento Press recently chatted with Yee, and Hansen was endorsed by local firefighters last week.
Hansen and Yee will square off from 7 - 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Pioneer Congregational United Church of Christ,
2700 L St., in a forum moderated by the League of Women Voters.
Questions will be centered on topics including homelessness and affordable, accessible housing; hunger; land use and community
equity. Questions from the audience will also be accepted, and questions can be on any topic.
