VISTA — City Council candidates continued their local tour with their third forum on Monday at the Vista Civic Center.
Candidates running in the District 2 and 3 races spent one hour discussing their visions for the city and how to address specific issues such as homelessness, housing affordability, public safety and transportation, to name a few.
In District 2 are Jeff Fox, who owns a local marketing company, and Anthony White, a Marine veteran and community advocate, while in District 3 are incumbent Deputy Mayor Katie Melendez, a social worker, and challenger Denisse Barragan, who owns an auto body shop.
The League of Women Voters moderated the event, and co-hosted by the Vista Chamber of Commerce, and will post the video by Wednesday.
County election offices will begin mailing vote-by-mail ballots on Oct. 7, according to the California Secretary of State website. Secure drop boxes open on Oct. 8 and from Oct. 7-Nov. 5 is the voting period to return mail-in ballots.
