District 3 Forum Starts at 5 P.M.

Starting at 5 p.m., candidates for District 3 will meet to discuss issues and the election. The invited candidates include incumbent Sal Quintero, Fresno city councilmembers Luis Chavez and Miguel Arias, and music teacher EJ Hinojosa.

Quintero is running for his third term, first winning in 2016. Chavez served as Quintero’s chief of staff when the latter served on the Fresno City Council. Chavez succeeded Quintero on the city council in 2017. Chavez previously was an elected Fresno Unified School District trustee.

Arias has served on the Fresno City Council since 2019. This is Hinojosa’s first time running for public office.

The district covers much of the southern end of the city of Fresno, including downtown, Fresno Yosemite International Airport, and county neighborhoods south of Fresno.

All candidates are registered Democrats.
