San Jose District 3 City Council Forum

SJSU Votes and co-sponsors Associated Students SJSU, SJSU Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement, SJSU Department of Political Science, CommUniverCity, and Downtown College Prep, held a San Jose District 3 City Council candidate forum via Zoom on October 28, 2022. Irene Smith and Omar Torres were the D-3 election candidates and our panelists. SJSU Votes and CommUniverCity held an in-person watch party for the Zoom event at Biblioteca Latinoamericana where we also tabled, handing out voter registration information. SJSU Votes students created a list of questions for the candidates that related to issues affecting District 3 including topics of rent control, housing availability, and crime. Students also asked questions about economic development and climate change initiatives. Thank you Irene Smith and Omar Torres for taking time to answer our questions and informing District 3 voters!
