In a wide-ranging debate that touched on issues from the foreclosure crisis to health care, candidates vying to fill two open seats on the Merced County Board of Supervisors squared off Thursday night.
It was the first debate between the two candidates running for the board's District 4 seat. It was the second among the five running for District 2. Four of them attended; one sent a representative. The election is June 3.
