James Ramos Will Meet District 3 Constituents

James Ramos has scheduled a meet-and-greet opportunity March 20.

The San Bernardino County Supervisor third district candidate will meet the public from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the home of Leno and Liz Moreno, 12071 Rosedale Ave., in Grand Terrace.

Ramos became the target of some criticism after bowing out of a candidate forum hosted by the Redlands Tea Party Patriots. Fellow candidates James Bagley and Neil Derry noted Ramos’ absence. That was billed as an opportunity to explain where he stood on several important issues.

The meet-and-greet is the only local event promoted by the Ramos camp.

Ramos, current third district supervisor Derry and former Twentynine Palms Mayor James Bagley are scheduled to participate in a forum at 6:30 p.m. April 3 hosted by the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce and moderated by the League of Women Voters. The forum will be held at the Masonic Lodge, 385 Summit Blvd., north of the courthouse in Big Bear Lake.

The event at Grand Terrace is co-hosted by Robert Armenta, Colton Joint Unified School District School Board president Laura Morales, Colton Joint Unified School District School Board member Susan Oliva.

Residents planning to attend must RSVP to Betsy Starbuck (909) 307-9706.
