Comments on: Visalia City Council’s District 4 candidates face off https://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2022/10/07/visalia-city-councils-district-4-candidates-face-off/ In-depth, locally-produced coverage of the Central Valley.

If he wants to not comment on pop culture or the war in Ukraine that's fine but with local issues he needs to provide a comment. For Labbee, she also provided a vague answer to the Planned Parenthood situation. Again, it's a local issue and you need to say how you feel. For Soto, he expresses his views knowing that some people won't see things that way. That's a good person to have in the seat for District 4.

" Where is your evidence to support this statement? Was this an actual quote that he stated? If not, this needs to be addressed within context and feels more like the authors bias showing immensely as the other candidates received much more favorable coverage.
