MAYOR

Kenney and Bailey Face Off in Four Debates

Philadelphia voters will have two more chances to hear from the mayoral candidates at debates scheduled for the coming weeks, but all of those events won't feature the entire field.

The first of the mayoral debates between Democrat Jim Kenney and Republican Melissa Murray Bailey took place Sept. 29. at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel on 237 S. Broad St.

On Monday the "Leading Questions: Philadelphia Mayoral Debate" between Kenney and Bailey took place at WHYY, 150 N. Sixth St. Doors open at 6 p.m., with the debate starting at 6:30 p.m.

The debate was sponsored by WHYY/NewsWorks, the Committee of Seventy, Young Involved Philadelphia, NAACP Millennials, Influencing Action Movement and the Urban Philly Professional Network.

One week after that on Oct. 19, Kenney and Bailey will make their way to the Temple Performing Arts Center, 1837 N. Broad St., for The Next Mayor Debate.

Focused on business and economic development, this event will be co-hosted by Philadelphia Media Network, The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce's Roadmap for Growth campaign and Temple University's Center for Public Interest Journalism. (Event partners include WHYY, Committee of Seventy, WURD Radio, Young Involved Philadelphia, and Technically Philly.)

Register for this 7:30-8:30 p.m. event via this link.

Finally a debate between Kenney and Bailey will take place on Oct. 23 and air from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Oct. 25.
