The five candidates running for mayor of St. Paul have agreed to participate in a forum that will be held Wednesday at Johnson Senior High School by the League of Women Voters St. Paul. The event will mark the first time all five mayoral candidates appear together on stage.
The St. Paul Neighborhood Network will livestream the forum on its YouTube channel and replay the broadcast on its cable access channel multiple times on select future dates. The forum — featuring Mayor Melvin Carter, Yan Chen, Adam Dullinger, state Rep. Kaohly Her and Mike Hilborn — will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The high school is located at 1349 Arcade St.
The high school auditorium holds more than 800 people. The League has requested a neutral atmosphere and that no one enter the auditorium wearing partisan clothes, hats or issue-related gear. FairVote Minnesota will man a table in the foyer to remind voters that the election is ranked choice.
Each candidate will deliver a two-minute opening and closing statement, as well as one minute to answer each question from the audience presented by a panel of facilitators. The event is co-sponsored by six district councils representing the South East, Greater East Side, Dayton’s Bluff, Como, St. Anthony Park and Union Park areas.
