Sacramento City Council District 4 Race
Sacramento County has less than 100 ballots left to be counted. Which means election results are largely finalized. Today we are going to focus on a change of leadership in Sacramento City Council District 4 - which includes downtown, midtown and East Sacramento. On Tuesday, Councilmember
Katie Valenzuela officially
conceded the race for her seat to UC Davis Health project manager
Phil Pluckebaum. Valenzuela received 46.17% of the vote (8,542) versus Pluckebaum’s 50.63% votes (9,366). Today, Councilmember Valenzuela joins us about how she will round out her term. We’re also joined by Pluckebaum about how he plans to lead District 4 once he is sworn-in in December.
‘Landing Spot’ for LGBTQ+ Youth
A Placer County church is using Good Friday to uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
Loomis Basin UCC is an open and affirming congregation - which is an official designation for churches committed to welcoming the LGBTQ+ community. Pastor
Casey Tinnin joins us about the candle lighting event to show solidarity for LGBTQ+ people, youth and their families. Pastor Tinnin also shares an update about
The Landing Spot, a non-religious support group for LGBTQ+ youth in Placer County that has grown into its own separate nonprofit with Camp Fruit Loop this summer expanding to six days.
Sacramento Piano Day
It’s the 88th day of the year and a piano has 88 keys, so today must be Sacramento Piano Day! CapRadio Music’s Classical Host Jennifer Reason and Pianist and Composer Philip Howard join us to talk about tonight’s celebration at American River College. We will learn more about Piano Day’s special performances and why music education is vital in our community.
