The La Palma-Cerritos American Association of University Women (AAUW) will be hosting a Cerritos City Council Candidates Forum on Monday, February 3, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. at the Cerritos City Council Chambers at Cerritos City Hall, 18125 S. Bloomfield Avenue, Cerritos, with AAUW member Dorothy Edwards as moderator. The Candidates Forum is open to the public, and there will be an opportunity for a question and answer period during the evening.
There are nine candidates running for three open seats on the Cerritos City Council. The candidates are: Rusty Liang Chiang, Jennifer Hong, Jim Edwards, Naresh Solanki, Rocky Pavone, Chuong Vo, Chris Im, Sophia Myau Tse, and Anna Titus. Cerritos community members are especially invited to attend the Candidates Forum so that they can learn about each candidate’s qualifications. They can then make an educated choice of the three members they will vote for to serve on the Cerritos City Council in 2020.
According to Harriet Moses, President of the La Palma-Cerritos AAUW, the Candidates Forum will be televised and re-broadcast on Friday, February 7, and Sunday, February 9, at 7:00 p.m.
For more information about the Cerritos City Council Candidates Forum, contact President Harriet Moses at 714-994-1487.
Wondering if this candidates Forum will be cancelled, last CCC election, one forum was cancelled.

Lot of power and education in any forum, but can be very bias, when candidates dialog are censored.

Well aware, I sound like a broken record, but homes and landscape, is #1 Priority in my life, that is why we chose Cerritos to live in, plus the RV lots in 70’s. There’s not even one street left in Cerritos, which has all nice homes anymore. City can have infinity: Social programs, CCPA, LASD, Library,… Read more »
CONCEPTION OF CITY WIDE PRIDE PROGRAM ( CWP). When Citywide Contest got started back in the 80s, it was veryyyyyyy well attended.

Most were vendors were from Bellflower, who came to get jobs : window cleaners, painters, gardeners, landscapers nurseries, house cleaners, fireplace cleaners, car washing, dog walkers, tree trimmers,… Read more »
Candidate Forum Questions INCOME UNITS : Some 2-4 ( fourplex ) would be suitable only for some oversized lots, and possibly some Corner Lots/ CDS/ Key Lots/ RV Side-yards…. compatibility would be the main question!! Implement strict architectural reviews boards, to insure compatibility! Many of these mega mansions being built in: Cerritos, Beach Communities, Rossmoor, Downey, Yorba Linda, Orange Hills, Anaheim Hills, Palos Verdes, Fullerton, are really 2 – 4 Plex in Sq Footage alone. No one knows how many people or families are living in these mega mansions. Two- three story residential building, would not be that objective in… Read more »
