Long Beach Mayoral Candidates Forum on Livability

Longbeachize will be hosting the Livable Streets Mayoral Forum at the Art Theatre on February 25 at 7PM. This forum will be a chance for the top contenders for mayor to discuss everything from how they would increase transportation options to improving air quality to bicycle rights. Essentially, it is a forum to discuss how they plan to make Long Beach a better place to live, work, move, and play. The event is free and open to the public.

Confirmed candidates include: Robert Garcia, Bonnie Lowenthal, Doug Otto and Gerrie Schipske; Damon Dunn was also invited but had to decline due to a scheduling conflict. Spanish Translation is provided by Building Healthy Communities Long Beach

It will be moderated by Alan Crawford, former Mobility Coordinator for the City of Long Beach, and hosted by Brian Addison, an editor and writer with the Post and Longbeachize.

The event is free and open to the public, but it would make our lives a little easier if you RSVP on EventBrite or through our Facebook event page. Any donations made will benefit Longbeachize.

The forum is co-sponsored with Bikeable Communities, the Long Beach Post, the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, Pedal Love, Streetsblog Los Angeles and Pocrass and De Los Reyes Attorneys at Law.
