MAYOR
3 roads – 2 less traveled – highlight Fairfield race Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET
FAIRFIELD — Someone lobbed a curveball into what has been a game of straight hardball this campaign season. The candidates for the Fairfield mayor’s office were asked at a forum hosted Tuesday by the Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee which council member did he or she most align themselves with politically or with regard to
public policy. Newcomer Chauncey Banks had nothing but kind things to say about his opponents: incumbent Harry Price and Councilwoman Catherine Moy – and most particularly Price. But his soulmates on the council, he said, were Councilwoman Pam Bertani, largely due to her Christian faith, as well as Councilwoman Doriss Panduro because of his and her common work in the community. But Banks also emphasized he is the only business owner running
for mayor, and he views many of the toughest issues facing the city being related to the health of the business community: homelessness, crime and business attraction. He said it was essential the city listens to business owners when addressing those issues. Price and Moy also got to take a swing at the curveball. Price named all of the other council members, sans Moy, which fit into his general message See Race, Page A8

FAIRFIELD — The City Council election this November is divided among three districts – and eight candidates. There are three vying for the District 1 seat, two for District 3 and three more for District 5. Seven of those hopefuls par-
ticipated in the candidate forum hosted Tuesday by the FairfieldSuisun Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee in the council chamber at City Hall. Jeremy Ferrell, who is running in District 5, did not participate. Councilwoman Doriss Panduro holds that District 5 seat and said she wants the opportunity to continue to work on the issues she has
been engaged in for the past two years – specifically the regional homeless efforts, economic development along North Texas Street and crime reduction in the district. The forum left no doubt that District 5 suffers greatly from crime and homelessness, and Panduro said it is a region that had See City, Page A8
