Candidate Forums
For each San Francisco election, the League of Women Voters of San Francisco organizes and co-sponsors moderated non-partisan forums for candidates to present their views on the issues most important to voters.
The League of Women Voters of San Francisco does not support or oppose candidates or political parties.
The events are non-partisan, free and open to the public. For some forums, online advance registration may be required. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.

2019 District 5 Board of Supervisors Candidate Forums
The candidates for District 5 Supervisor answered audience questions about key policy issues in District 5 and San Francisco at two Candidate Forums organized by the League of Women Voters of San Francisco. These were both great opportunities for voters in District 5 to learn more about the candidates before casting their votes.
The first forum on September 16, 2019 was sponsored by UCSF and held at Cole Hall on the UCSF Parnassus campus. Our co-sponsors were D5 Action, Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council and the Junior League of San Francisco.
The second forum on October 10, 2019, held at the Japantown Cultural and Community Center of Northern California, was co-sponsored by the Cathedral Hill Neighbors Association and the Japantown Task Force.
The San Francisco Department of Elections provided valuable information and answered voter questions at both forums.
Candidates:
Vallie Brown
Ryan Lam
Nomvula O'Meara
