Osher Lifelong Learning Institute plans to host politicians to inform members and students

DANIEL HERNANDEZ Daily Titan

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Cal State Fullerton hopes to engage its members Thursday from 11 a.m. to noon with political topics at a public forum held at the Ruby Gerontology Center. Jay Chen, the Democratic candidate running for congress against Republican Ed Royce in the newly redrawn 39th district of California, will be featured at the public forum where he will attempt to make a lasting impression on the senior crowd. Chen faces an uphill battle this No- vember, running against an incumbent who has held the congressional seat since 1992. “With the redistricting that took place last year, the 39th district lines were redrawn, and we now have a more competitive district,” said Ron Osajima, chair of the OLLI-CSUF collaboration committee, about why he thought it was important to hold the forum. “So we thought it was appropriate… for our members to hear both the Democratic and the Re- publican candidates for office.” Congressman Royce’s campaign has not respond- ed to requests from OLLI, asking him to speak at WILLIAM CAMARGO / Daily Titan the forum, Osajima said.
