Davis Media Access (DMA) has produced a variety of voter education programs related to the upcoming November 6, 2018 election. Coverage of local elections is core to DMA’s mission of strengthening community through media, and a free community service we've been proud to offer for 30 years.
Programming to date for this election cycle includes "Meet the Candidates" for the following races: Congressional 3rd District; Davis School Board; Yolo County Board of Education - Area 2; Measure L - West Davis Active Adult Community; Measure M - Davis Joint Unified School District Bond. It is likely we will add more programming in the weeks leading up to the election.
