Fresno City Council District 5 candidates shared their plans to tackle the city’s projected $20 million budget deficit at GV Wire’s forum Thursday.
The forum included Jose Leon Barraza, a Fresno Parks Commission member; Elizabeth Jonasson Rosas, a Fresno Unified School Board trustee; and Brandon Vang, a Sanger Unified School Board trustee.
They are vying to replace Luis Chavez, who won a seat on the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
The special election is set for March 18, with a runoff possible if no candidate secures a majority.

The production is made possible through a collaboration with CMAC, Fresno’s Community Media Access Collaborative.
