The Wrigley and California Heights associations plan to host a joint candidates forum for the upcoming 7th District City Council election.

Part of the Wrigley District and Cal Heights are two of the largest neighborhoods in the 7th District, which also includes the Westside.

Councilwoman Tonia Reyes Uranga is running a write-in campaign in the April 13 election.

The incumbent is seeking her third term against challengers James Johnson, the assistant city auditor; Jill Hill, co-president of the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance; and Jack Smith, who works as a Hollywood line producer and is a local homeless and housing advocate.

Uranga's husband, Roberto Uranga, was initially in the race but pulled out, citing commitments related to his other elected office, the Long Beach City College Board of Trustees.

Each candidate in the race is expected to attend, according to the association's Gavin McKiernan.

The candidates' forum will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Veteran's Park Social Hall, 101 East 28th St.
