Cable TV broadcaster Access Sacramento presents more than 20 hours of original voter information and education forums over the next two weeks to conclude its run up to California’s General Election Tuesday Nov. 4.
Hometown TV crews recorded beginning-to-end coverage of three separate candidate and issues forums for broadcast on Access Sacramento this month.
Information about Sacramento’s Strong Mayor proposal Measure L was sponsored by Eye on Sacramento and by the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs (APAPA) organization.
Two separate multi-hour candidate forums also were recorded sponsored by APAPA and by the United Latinos organization.
Access Sacramento programs can be seen on Comcast and Consolidated Communications (SureWest) cable channel 17, AT&T U-Verse channel 14 and on the Internet from AccessSacramento.org
The Latino Voter’s Forum is a great way to get involved with the democratic process and provide a vehicle to assist in their commitment to achieve a higher representation of community voices. During this two-part Hometown program, candidates and supporters talk about US Congress & Statewide Offices, Propositions/Local Measures, State Senate & State Assembly, Sacramento County Community College Boards, SMUD Races, School and Board races with a keynote presentation from Cruz Reynoso.
