Board of Supervisor Candidates Offer Views on Issues from Affordable Housing to Racism to Oversight of SCDC Budget and Practices

News, , , , , ,

Earlier this year, local faith-based advocacy organization Sacramento ACT hosted a candidates forum prior to the 2020 Sacramento County District 3 Board of Supervisors primary election. Gregg Fishman and Rich Desmond emerged from the primary as the top two candidates  set to face off in the general election this November. Since then, Sacramento CORE  (Collaborative Organizing for Racial Equity), a part of Jesuits West CORE, and Sacramento ACT caught up with Fishman and Desmond to get their take on issues facing the county that have arisen since the last candidate forum in January 2020. Topics addressed include inclusionary affordable housing, rising homelessness, COVID-19 relief funding, racism, and oversight of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office’s policing practices and budget. The questions and the candidates’ unedited answers can be downloaded using the link below.
