Isthmus and WORT-FM, 89.9 FM, hosted a mayoral forum from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4, at the Rev. Alex Gee's Fountain of Life Covenant Church, 633 W. Badger Road. Watch the debate here. The first 10 minutes of the forum have an echo, but the problem is corrected after that. The debate focused on issues of racial and economic disparity, with questions posed by representatives of the Fountain of Life Church, Dane County NAACP, the Race to Equity Project and the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups. The candidates also took questions from the audience.
All five candidates attended, including incumbent Paul Soglin, and challengers Richard Brown, Christopher Daly, Bridget Maniaci, and Scott Resnick.
