Youth-Led Candidate Forum a First for Merced

Nearly 100 people gathered at Tenaya Middle School on the evening of October 22nd for a city council candidate forum.  The youth-led forum, which was hosted by local organizations We’Ced Youth Media and Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Merced, was the first of its kind in this city. In what could be described as a game-like format, candidates were asked to pick questions from three categories—“About You,” “Growth,” and “Youth Life.” Read their answers on We'Ced.
