Five contenders in California’s gubernatorial race participated in a candidate forum at the Skirball Center on Feb. 26. The event focused on issues pertaining to the Jewish community as well as those that affect the state at large, including California-Israel relations, antisemitism and immigration crackdowns.
Moderated by journalist Alex Cohen of Spectrum News, the event was a collaboration between Jewish Federation Los Angeles (JFEDLA), Jewish California (formerly JPAC), Jewish Community Relations Bay Area and 12 cosponsors. It drew an in-person audience of approximately 1,000 and more than 3,400 online viewers.
