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.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A man who stabbed a San Diego police dog during an altercation with officers in the Midway District pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of animal cruelty and resisting arrest.
Dedrick Daknell Jones, 35, is slated to be sentenced May 11 for stabbing SDPD K-9 Titan on Jan. 25 after an hours-long standoff with police.
The dog was treated for stab wounds to his side that caused a laceration to his colon in three places, police said. Titan had six to eight inches of his colon surgically removed and received more than 100 stitches.
Jones refused to give the officers his information and kept reaching for his bag, according to police.
When officers tried to put him in handcuffs, Jones punched the officers and ran into a nearby military property, where he stood on a shipping container waving a knife, police said.
About four hours later, emergency negotiators convinced him to come down from the container, but Jones refused to put the knife down, the department said in a tweet. The officer released his K9 partner, Titan, to assist and the suspect stabbed him, police said.
Officers then ran in and took Jones into custody.
