Congressman Josh Harder talks about issues impacting Stanislaus County residents
In a discussion with The Bee’s Editorial Board, Congressman Josh Harder, D-Turlock, running for reelection as the U.S. Representative in California’s 10th District, talked about the issues important to Northern San Joaquin Valley residents on Wednesday.
Harder’s Republican opponent, Ted Howze, declined The Bee’s invitation for what was supposed to be a candidate forum mirroring the 10 others that have been held featuring those in the running in several key races in and around Stanislaus County.
Harder touched on Tuesday night’s debate featuring President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, his opponent’s absence in the forum and the potential for voter fraud in Stanislaus county.
The election event was the 11th conducted by The Bee’s Editorial Board in a continuing series that lasted throughout the month of September ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
