Candidate Forum: Supervisor candidates Condit, Zoslocki weigh in on Newsom, current board
Bill Zoslocki and Buck Condit, both running for the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors District 1 seat in the November election, were resolute in their belief that they should be the one representing east Stanislaus County residents.
The two participated in The Bee’s 2020 General Election Candidate Forum on Monday on a Zoom call with the new organization’s Editorial Board.
Zoslocki, who serves on the Modesto City Council, touted his years in business and serving on the council and various committees. Condit, a captain for the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District, lauded his time in public service as a firefighter and familiarity with the district.
Each weighed in on a number of topics, including how Gov. Newsom and the current board are handling the coronavirus pandemic.
This is the first in a series of forums throughout the month of September and ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. The recorded Zoom calls will be put on The Bee’s website at their conclusion.
Zoslocki and Condit emerged from a March primary, taking the top two spots. The other candidate was Waterford Mayor Michael Van Winkle.
