These forums were also held in collaboration with Horizon Initiative. The purpose of the Specific Questions, Specific Answers" mayoral candidate forum series was to explore in-depth the candidates' ideas and solutions on the critical issues facing our city today in this very important mayor's race. The opening and closing statements from the candidates will be focused on the issues at hand, and the questions will be direct and detailed. This will provide voters with much greater insight into the positions each candidate takes on these core issues.
