Good Afternoon,
We just wrapped up our live virtual video conversation with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Helena Buonanno Foulkes. If you missed it, you can watch it now below.
Ahead of the September 13 Primary, we’re lining up conversations with each of the Democratic gubernatorial candidates. On Tuesday, August 23 at 3 pm, we’ll chat with Louis Daniel Munoz. On Monday, August 29 at 3 pm, we’ll chat with Nellie Gorbea. We’ll announce additional interviews with the candidates for governor as campaigns confirm interview times with us.
Once we get past the primary, our focus will shift to more of the local and statewide races that will face off in November’s General Election.
