SURVEY: Controversial Fresno City Council Race Survey Sparks Backlash
Description
The race for Fresno City Council District 1 is becoming one of the city's most competitive contests, with both candidates reporting strong fundraising in August. Naindeep Singh substantially outraised Rob Fuentes, but both campaigns brought in significant financial support heading into the November election.
A voter survey sent to residents in Fresno's City Council District 7 is drawing criticism because it asked questions about candidate Nav Gurm's age, religion, ethnicity, and Sikh religious attire. Both candidates in the race condemned the survey.
The fundraiser was created by Emma Gallegos to assist more than a dozen journalists reportedly laid off from Central Valley news organizations, including The Fresno Bee, The Modesto Bee, and The Stockton Record. Donations are intended to help affected reporters pay for necessities such as housing, food, and medical expenses while they search for new employment.
