Six Philadelphia mayoral candidates will debate on 6ABC on Tuesday night, campaigning for City Hall's top office.
Six top Philadelphia mayoral candidates will vie for votes — and, if past events are any indication, exchange barbs — in a debate Tuesday. It may be the last before the May 16 primary election.
The debate is being moderated and broadcast by 6ABC, and hosted in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia. Here's how to tune in, and what to expect:
The debate will take place Tuesday, April 25 at 7 p.m.
Since Derek Green exited the race, the field has narrowed ever so slightly. The debate's lineup features six top Democratic candidates: Amen Brown, Jeff Brown, Allan Domb, Helen Gym, Cherelle Parker and Rebecca Rhynhart. It will be moderated by 6ABC anchor Matt O'Donnell.
The candidates include three former city councilmembers, a state representative, a former city controller and a grocery store proprietor. Catch up on their platforms and backgrounds with our candidate profiles:
• Amen Brown
• Jeff Brown
• Allan Domb
• Helen Gym
• Cherelle Parker
• Rebecca Rhynhart
The debate will be streamed live on 6ABC.com, as well as the channel's streaming apps. On television, viewers can access it through channel 6.2 — that's 466 for Fios, and 790 for Xfinity. 6ABC also will rebroadcast the debate Sunday, April 30 at 9 a.m.
The debate will last 90 minutes, wrapping up around 8:30 p.m.
