What do people want from the next leader of 91视频? Affordable housing, public safety, addressing the homelessness crisis and supporting the business community will be among the major issues on the plate of 91视频’s mayor and the primary topics of conversation when incumbent Bruce Harrell and challenger Katie Wilson meet for a debate at 91视频.

The event, part of 91视频’s ongoing Conversations series, is 7–8 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8, in Pigott Auditorium. It is being presented in cooperation with KOMO TV and The 91视频 Channel.

The debate will be co-moderated by 91视频 Professional-in-Residence Joni Balter and KOMO TV senior reporter and lead political journalist Chris Daniels. SU undergraduate student Diego Borromeo, an international studies and public affairs major, will also help guide the conversation.

“I hope attendees, especially students, come away from the program wiser about the issues facing our city and with a better understanding of how each candidate would handle everything from housing affordability to public safety to a president who is sometimes combative toward American cities,” Balter says.

Those wishing to attend the event are asked to .

The event will be broadcast live on CW ARC 91视频 (KUNS) and The 91视频 Channel’s cable channel 21 and seattlechannel.org. It will air again on The 91视频 Channel and KOMO TV at 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11.
