Congressional candidate on area tour with town hall meetings

With less than 40 days remaining until the November general election, U.S. House candidate Jessica Morse will be hosting town hall meetings for 4th district residents, including a stop in South Lake Tahoe on Sunday, October 7.

California's 4th District stretches from the eastern Sacramento suburbs to the Sierra foothills, including Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. Morse is running against incumbent Republican Tom McClintock who, at this time, has no scheduled stops in South Lake Tahoe.

McClintock backed out of a debate in North Lake Tahoe as well as a forum hosted by the California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA). His representative said he didn't come to Lake Tahoe because "it was brought to our attention that the debate organizer had not only endorsed our opponent but had made multiple donations to her campaign and did not disclose these facts to our campaign."

There are some efforts to reschedule a debate in South Lake Tahoe. The two are coming off a heated debate in Mariposa a week ago. (View recap and video).
