Catch Up On Manhattan Beach Candidate Forums
Oct 11, 2020 11:28PM ● By Jeanne FratelloLocal elections in Manhattan Beach are a much-discussed event, with candidates sharing views on various forums and in conversations citywide.
Since most of us have too many (!) Zooms to attend and may have missed a few here and there, we're providing the links to the recordings of these conversations (wherever possible) so you can get up to speed.
