To help Chamber members make the right choice this election season, the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce asked this year’s mayoral and city council candidates to answer some questions about key issues affecting business and the community.

The answers are organized in alphabetical order by candidates’ last names. The opinions expressed are solely those of the candidates and do not reflect the opinions of Chamber staff or the Board of Directors.
