Stanislaus State is continuing its commitment to thoughtful dialogue, civic engagement and informed participation with a special edition of the Stan State EduCast Community Series featuring candidates for mayor of Turlock.
Following the Turlock mayoral debate held on campus, Stan State invited all candidates for mayor of Turlock to participate in individual conversations about their priorities, perspectives and vision for the city. This special EduCast series features conversations with Kelley Coelho and Jim Reape, who participated in the interviews.
Hosted by Dr. Christopher Claüs, professor and co-chair of the Department of Communication Studies, the conversations give students, employees and community members another opportunity to hear directly from the candidates and consider the issues shaping Turlock’s future.
Each candidate was invited to respond to questions about city leadership, the relationship between Turlock and Stan State, housing, workforce development and other community priorities.
