Central Valley Politics, Students Decide Season3 Ep1 Part4

Central Valley Politics kicks off a new season with a four-part series in which we hear from seven Democrats and one Independent, all of whom hope to run against incumbent District 10 Congressional Representative Jeff Denham in the 2018 election. All eight candidates were here on campus October 26 for the “Students Decide: Candidate Forum” organized by the Democratic Party Club, a student organization here at California State University Stanislaus. Your Central Valley Politics host, Dr. Shannon Stevens, moderated the event. The Democrats who participated are: Mike Barkley, T.J. Cox, Josh Harder, Virginia Madueño, Matteo M. Bedolla, Dotty Nygard, and Sue Zwahlen. The Independent candidate is Terra Snover. In this fourth and final segment, the candidates each answer two questions posed by students in the audience, as well as two final questions written by the Democratic Party Club and read by the moderator. That final question is worth sticking around for, as the candidates were able to make a pitch for themselves as the best person to run next year. Central Valley Politics is brought to you courtesy of KCSS 91.9 FM and The Signal student newspaper at Stan State. The podcast is hosted by Dr. Shannon Stevens, a professor of Communication Studies and Journalism at Stan State. This year’s producer is Austin Mantarro Moore, a Stan State Communication Studies major and production director at KCSS.
