On Friday night, the two candidates for Second District Supervisor — incumbent Estelle Fennell and challenger Michelle Bushnell — participated in an online forum hosted by the League of Women’s Voters of Humboldt County.
After Fennell fell just shy of gaining 50 percent of the vote during the March primary, she and Bushnell — the second-place finisher — now face a runoff election for the seat.
Watch a video of the full forum above to learn more about the two candidates as they weigh-in on subjects impacting the district including homelessness, equity and inclusion, preparing for the impacts of climate change, the cannabis industry and the county’s lack of mental health care services.
