The races closest to home can have the biggest impact on your day-to-day life. This Sunday, join us for a Community Candidate Forum with Dublin and Pleasanton candidates running in the November General Election.
Hear directly from the people seeking to represent you, submit your questions for the moderated discussion, and stay afterward to meet candidates one-on-one.
2 p.m. to 4 p.m. | Sunday, August 23, 2026 | MCC Conference Room | Join us in person or watch virtually at mcceastbay.org/live | RSVP at mcceastbay.org/candidate-forum
Sponsored by CAIR San Francisco & MCC East Bay.
Join us to learn where local Pleasanton & Dublin city candidates stand on important topics and ask questions that matter to you.
Local elected officials have a greater impact on our daily lives than many other political positions, as their decisions affect oversight of county law enforcement officers, transportation, housing, and many other public services. We will also pose questions about anti-Muslim hate, immigration, Palestine (Gaza), and freedom of speech.

MCC proudly hosts this annual educational candidate forum in partnership with our friends at CAIR – San Francisco Bay Area. This is an opportunity to learn about your local candidates during another critical election year.
Local elected officials have a greater impact on our daily lives than many other political positions, as their decisions affect the oversight of county law enforcement officers, transportation, housing, and many other public services.
Join us and listen to the candidates discuss hate crimes, bullying of Muslim American children, and more so that when you go to the polls next month, you’ll know exactly what decisions to make.
We invite you to join us and show that the American Muslim community is very interested in hearing about the candidates’ platforms and positions if they are elected. This voter education forum is an opportunity to educate and empower us to become more politically, civically, and publicly engaged with public officials and American Muslims.
