The June 2008 ballot could become much clearer after tonight, when the Wrigley Association will host the 54th Assembly Candidates Primary Forum at Veterans Park Recreation Hall, 101 E. 28th Street.
Democratic candidates Bonnie Lowenthal and Tonia Reyes Uranga have confirmed their attendance, along with Republican candidates Michael A. Jackson and Gabriella Holt. The four are battling for position to replace incumbent Assemblymember Betty Karnette, whose term has run out.
The 90-minute forum will begin at 7:00pm, with free parking, child care and refreshments provided. A buffet and mingling period will be held from 8:30pm-9:00pm, giving voters a chance to speak directly with the candidates.
Alan Tolkoff will moderate the forum.
