Alameda County Supervisor Candidates To Debate In Pleasanton

EAST BAY, CA — Four candidates for the Alameda County Board of Supervisors District 1 seat are scheduled to debate traffic, business, housing and homelessness, climate action and sustainable energy issues Sunday at the Pleasanton Senior Center, according to a bulletin for the event posted on Facebook.

Candidates Vinnie Bacon, David Haubert, Melissa Hernandez and Bob Wieckowski are vying for the District 1 seat, which covers Dublin, Livermore, Fremont and surrounding unincorporated areas to the east. Bacon is a Fremont City Councilmember, Haubert is Dublin's Mayor, Hernandez is a Dublin City Councilmember and Wieckowski serves in the California Senate.
