Wilmington Mayor Debate — WHYY Event

12 Comments
WHYY hosted their debate featuring the Democratic primary contenders for Wilmington Mayor Tuesday night (8/14) at U of D. This debate was the culmination of a process where WHYY hosted multiple forums around the city to get input from people in the city as to what questions they would specifically want candidates to address. The actual debate was about an hour long, maybe a little more because of some technical glitch at the beginning. The venue was maybe 60% full, with little pockets of each candidate's partisans.

WHYY Sponsors Wilmington Voter Forums

WHYY will sponsor another round of voter forums designed to let Wilmington voters frame the issues that they want Mayoral candidates to address in an upcoming televised debate. This is NOT a candidate forum, but this is a place where voters can come together to provide input to the kind of questions they want Mayoral candidates to answer. They did this in 2010 in prep ration for televised debates for DE Senate and representative races. Both Pandora and I went to the one held in the city that year and we were impressed with this process and what came out of it. If you have the chance to go, I highly recommend it.

WHYY’s Election Forum In Wilmington

Last night cassandra m and I participated in the WHYY's Election Forum held at the Delaware History Museum. I had no idea what to expect, and confess that my expectations were low. My expectations were wrong. The event was great, and, unlike the events in Middletown and Dover, heavily attended.
