Candidate forums

The League of Women Voters of the Los Altos Mountain View Area are hosting an Oct. 23 online forum with candidates for the Trustee Area 3 seat on the Foothill-De Anza  Community College board. Trustee Area 3 includes parts of western and northern  Cupertino and southern Sunnyvale. The forum is set for 7 p.m.

Patrick Aherns and Tara Sreekrishnan, the two Democratic candidates for state Assembly District 26, which includes Cupertino, are set to take part in an Oct. 14 forum at 7 p.m.

No candidate forum is set for the state Senate’s District 13 race, which includes Cupertino, as incumbent Josh Becker and challenger Alex Glew would not commit to a date.

Register and submit questions for the candidates at https://lwvcs.clubexpress.com.

Make a video, win a prize

Cupertino students in grades 5-12 are invited to compete in the new American History Video Contest sponsored by the Los Altos Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Local filmmakers will select the winners, who will then compete at the state and national level. The chapter will award the winners a pin, a certificate and a $200 prize.

The video submissions are due Oct. 20 on the theme “Enjoying a new kind of Tea Party,” about the pre-Revolutionary War protests by the colonists against the British due to taxes and laws. Individuals or teams of two will compete in four grade-level categories.

Students who attend a public, private, or parochial school as well as those who are homeschooled are eligible to enter. Movie producer Blessing Joao and filmmaker Tony Jonick will help to judge the contest entries.
