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 third segment, the candidates each answer two questions—one written by the Democratic Party Club and read by the moderator; the other written and asked by a representative from the Stan State branch of Students for a Quality Education (SQE).
