Candidate & Pro-Con ForumsTogether with the League of Women Voters - Pasadena Area, WISPPA sponsored a city council candidate forum, a forum of candidates for California Assembly and Senate, and a Pro/Con forum on ballot initiatives. We believe the state forums were the first of their kind to be held in South Pasadena for many years.
