Patterson candidate forum set for Monday

PATTERSON -- As many as eight candidates for Patterson offices could show up Monday to debate issues and say why they're best for the job.

Mayor Luis Molina is challenged by Troy McComak. Council incumbents Dominic Farinha and Annette Smith will defend their seats against Tony Camacho, Dennis McCord, Sheree Lustgarten and Carlos Gustavo Fierros.

The forum, sponsored by the Patterson-Westley Chamber of Commerce, Soroptimist International and the Patterson Irrigator, is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 1 Plaza Circle.
