They’ve been overshadowed by the pandemic and national politics. But now it’s their turn in the spotlight.
This evening, Democratic candidates in New York City’s mayoral race will convene virtually for the first of three official primary debates. For weeks, they have pored over policy briefings, huddled with advisers and held full-on mock sessions in preparation.
The debate, co-hosted by Spectrum News NY1, will serve as one of the clearest opportunities to date for voters to become acquainted with the candidates and their ideas.
