The major bipartisan gubernatorial candidate forum is set for Wednesday at Fresno State, where several high-profile candidates for California governor will make their case for voters. The event is expected to focus on issues affecting affordability, agriculture, and water policy. The forum will be moderated by Fresno County Supervisor Buddy Mendes and former State Assemblymember Kristin Olsen, who aim to ensure Central Valley concerns are front and center. The moderators are prepared to press candidates for direct answers and will follow up with questions if they fail to answer them. They also highlighted the importance of water policy, highlighting that many statewide candidates lack a full understanding of California's water systems. The venue is scheduled to run from noon to 1:30 p.m. and is sponsored by 30 agricultural associations statewide.
