What Issues State Senate Candidates Should Address?

As the campaign season heats up, voters have the opportunity to define the issues for the candidates.

On Nov. 6, voters who don't vote absentee will go to the polls to select a new State Senator for the newly redrawn Senate District 3.  The new district encompasses all of Solano and Napa Counties and has parts of Yolo, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento Counties.

Republican Frank Miranda, a write in candidate in the June primary is looking to win the seat against Democratic Senator Lois Wolk who currently represents Senate District 5.

In the June 5 Primary, nearly 69,ooo Solano county voters cast ballots.  Of those, slightly more than 50,000 or about 73 percent voted by mail. 

We at Patch want to know what you, the voters, think are the important questions candidates for State Senate District 3 should be answering.

What efforts should the State Senate make to protect the Delta?  How can the state do a better job of funding education? 

These are questions that are already being asked by readers.

What are your questions for the candidates for Senate District 3?

Benicia Patch will collect questions from readers through Friday, September 21.  We will then forward the questions to the candidates and will post their answers beginning Monday, September 24.
