Before voters head to the polls, the two mayoral candidates will face off in one open-to-the-public debate.
The debate, between Democrat Toni Harp and Justin Elicker, is scheduled to begin at Gateway Community College’s downtown campus this coming Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. It’s free and open to the public; please arrive early and bring a picture ID to pass through the college’s security desk.
The New Haven Independent, La Voz Hispana, and New Haven Register are sponsoring the debate.
If you miss the debate, you can catch it later on public-access Citizens Televison. We’ll publish a schedule of airing dates when CTV sets them.
After a primary season with more than 15 public debates, this is scheduled to be the only direct face-off in front of a crowd for the general election campaign.
The two sides are scheduled to participate in a second debate in WTNH’s studios Sunday Nov. 3. You can watch that one live on TV from 8 to 9 a.m.
