The mayoral hopefuls are independent Ed Acklerley and Democrats Steve Farley, Randi Dorman and Regina Romero.
While getting a seat to watch all four candidates square off is easy, it won’t come cheap.
The 90-minute debate at the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Convention Center — scheduled to start at noon on Wednesday, July 24 — costs $35 per person for nonmembers of the Rotary Club. Debate attendance is free to members of the Rotary Club of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥.Â
Parking is free in Lot B west of the TCC.
