Summary: VOTER FORUM: CENTRAL VALLEY: 1ST HOUR. Congressional District 10 in California is in the frontlines in the battle for the nation’s Congress, and a well-known astronaut and Democratic candidate José Hernández is a lead figure in this battle. Hernández could become the first Latino to represent the Central Valley in the U.S. Congress. In the second of a series of town hall meetings, Línea Abierta will hold a live, 2-hour forum in Modesto.

How motivated are they about the elections in their district? Political battles at the state level, including critical propositions on the November ballot will be part of the discussion. The forum airs live from the Council for the Spanish-Speaking in Modesto. Guests: Jose R. Rodriguez, President and CEO, El Concilio, Stockton, CA; Armando Cervantes Bastidas, Publisher and Managing Editor, Periodico Cambalache, Manteca, CA; Homero Mejia, Executive director, Congregations Building Community, Modesto, CA, www.cbcstan.org ; Sally Ayala Perez, organizer, Communities for a New California, Arturo Barajas, radio listener, Merced, CA; Hebe Garcia Bolio, concerned citizen, Modesto, CA.
