The Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (ACONA) departed from its usual meeting format Wednesday night to co-host a forum for the two Pasadena Unifeid School District candidates for the new District 1.

ACONA and the Pasadena League of Women Voters co-sponsored the forum, held at the Altadena Senior Center. Incumbent Kim Kenne and challenger Hermond Dean Cooper are vying to represent the new district, which largely comprises west Altadena.

Forum moderator Marge NIchols relayed questions submitted by audience members. Nothing earthshaking or surprising came out of the event, althought both candidates said that they would not just represent the interests of their elected district. As Cooper said, “I am for every student.”

The election will take place March 5.
