Davis Media Access (DMA) recorded 24 "Meet the Candidates" statements for local races spanning school board to Congress in the Nov. 3, 2020 election. We also recorded Pro-Con statements for local ballot Measure B.
During COVID, we do not have access to our studios at DMA, and candidates were recorded remotely. Sound and lighting were constant challenges, but we believe the getting the content out was more important than achieving production perfection. Each candidate within a given race was allowed the same amount of time to answer the same three questions.
Local election coverage is integral to DMA's mission to highlight voice and opinions that typically do not receive mainstream media coverage. DMA has been proud to offer free election coverage to local candidates for more than 30 years.
