2020 Voter Guide: How SLO mayor candidates compare in our election questionnaire

San Luis Obispo voters will make a big decision this November: Who will lead the city as mayor?

Incumbent Heidi Harmon is running against challengers Cherisse Sweeney, Sandra Marshall and Donald E. Hedrick to see who will secure the city’s leadership for the next two years.

See what the candidates said in our questionnaire about affordable housing, the city’s proposed sales tax increase, development downtown and the San Luis Obispo Police Department’s handling of Black Lives Matter protests, especially the arrest of notable local activist Tianna Arrata.

In our voter guide, we’ve compiled candidate information and responses from nearly all of the local city council, community service district and school board races.
