DescriptionALAMO -- The candidates in what may be the Bay Area's most hotly contested state legislative district faced off in a debate Friday, touching on issues such as jobs, schools, taxes, water and their track records.
Incumbent Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan, D-Alamo, said she has been an effective advocate for the 15th Assembly District in her first term, and vowed to work to create jobs and support local businesses; oppose more education cuts; enact performance-based budgeting; and protect the Delta's ecology and Northern California's water rights.
Republican nominee Abram Wilson said that in his eight years as San Ramon's mayor, he has turned around that city's structural deficit, inadequate cash reserves and poor relations with its business community, and he'd now like to do the same for the 15th District and the rest of California.
