(District 53); State Assembly Candidates Ruben Hernandez and Brian
Maienschein (District 77), Mary England and Shirley Weber (District 79);
and San Diego Mayoral Candidates Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner.

These specific races were selected because they have a significant
percentage of API registered voters and residents and include the City of
San Diego, Poway in the north and National City and Chula Vista in the
south.

“Our Candidates Forum on September 8th is not only to educate and inform
our API community about who is running for elected office but to motivate
and mobilize our community to participate in this electoral process.
Reaching out to all segments of our community to voice their concerns is
an important part of this process,” commented Pam  Hooper, SCAPAL
President.
