LOCAL ELECTION COVERAGE

On November 3, 2020 voters across the country will either cast 
ballots by mail or physically go to the polls in some have already 
dubbed, "the most important election of our lives". That may be 
very true especially on the National level. However, the election of 
capable individuals locally is equally as important. 

In the State of California alone, there are more than a dozen ballot 
measures for citizens to vote on. In the city of Sierra Madre 
residents will go to the polls and select three people from a field of 
eight to sit on our city council, vote on whether or not to elect or 
appoint our City Clerk, vote for our City Treasurer and select the 
representative to sit on the Pasadena Unified School Board.

 

The Mountain Views News will do our best to provide our readers 
with good, reliable, objective information on all. For the ballot 
measures we will provide you with the Pros and Cons of each 
measure.

In addition, each week, as we have done in the past, we will profile 
the candidates and give each of the candidates the opportunity 
to introduce themselves to our readers by answering the following 
questions:

 1. Why are you running for City Council (or the 

 PUSD Board)?

 2. What are you going to do for Sierra

 Madre?

 3. How do you plan on accomplishing

 your goals?

All candidates are being asked to answer the same questions and 
their answers will be published unedited.

The schedule for the candidates responses will be as follows:

Saturday, September 12, 2020 PUSD District 6 Candidates

Saturday, September 19, 2020 SM City Council Candidates

 2 Year Seat

Saturday, September 26, 2020 SM City Council Candidates 

 4 Year Seat

Saturday, October 3, 2020 California Ballot Propositions

. A separate letter has been sent to each candidate asking them to

participate.

In addition to the candidate spotlights, we will attempt to cover 
the various forums sponsored by local organizations. 

Our reporting on this election will be as fair and objective as possible. 
However, please keep in mind that our columnists are always 
free to share their opinions. Their opinions are their opinions and 
may or may not reflect the position of the paper. 

This is true in all things, not just this election.

Finally, we will also provide for you the calendar of important 
dates regarding the election. It is our goal to do whatever we can to 
help you make an informed decision on November 3, 2020.
