INDIANAPOLIS — The candidates for Indianapolis Mayor will participate in the first of three debates tonight.
The event between incumbent democrat mayor Joe Hogsett and his republican challenger Jefferson Shreeve is set for 5p.m. Voters can listen in on The Indianapolis Recorder’s Facebook and YouTube page, as well as 106.7 WTLC. (WTLC and WIBC are both owned by Radio One)
The debate, which is being hosted by The African American Coalition of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Recorder, and Radio One, is intended to focus on black issues.
