Editor’s note: from the League of Women Voters and posted at Yubanet:

Please join us for our second League of Women Voters Forum that will include candidates for the Board of Supervisors and Superior Court Judge.

This forum, moderated by Polly Bacich, will be held Monday, April 30 at the Board of Supervisors Chambers in the Rood Center, 950 Maidu Avenue, Nevada City from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

6:30 – 7:50 p.m.:

Board of Supervisors District 1: Nate Beason (Incumbent), Al Bulf, Sue McGuire;
Board of Supervisors District 2: Jedediah Biagi;
Board of Supervisors District 5: Richard Anderson

8:00 – 9:00 p.m. Superior Court Judge:

Tom Anderson (Incumbent), George Smyrnos

Incumbent District 2 Supervisor will not participate in the forum due to a prior engagement. He released the follwoing statement:

Due to the late entry by my opponent as a write-in candidate, I am unable to attend the League of Women Voters’ candidate debate scheduled for April 30.

Initially, I was not invited to participate in this forum since I was running unopposed. It was not until this past week that my opponent was declared a certified write in candidate. In the mean time, working with our County Planning team, a meeting was organized with the Home Owners of the three Associations whose properties are part of the Emigrant Trail. A large turnout is expected for this workshop, and I feel it is my duty to represent my South County constituents at this meeting.

I have great respect for the League of Women’s Voters and normally would never turn down an invitation to participate in a League event.

Thank You for your understanding. If you have any questions, you may contact me through mynevadacounty.com.

Ed Scofield
Nevada County Supervisor, District II
