Chicago mayoral candidates will answer questions from the black community on the NBC 5 forum – NBC Chicago

NBC 5 has partnered with the Business Leadership Council, WVON, Chicago Urban League and NABJ Chicago to host a Chicago Mayor’s Forum ahead of the city’s general municipal elections.

NBC 5 anchor Marion Brooks and WVON’s Matt McGill will moderate the forum, which focuses on issues affecting Chicago’s black community, from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, February 13.

All nine Chicago mayoral candidates accepted the invitations, including Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, Paul Vallas, Willie Wilson, Brandon Johnson, Ja’mal Green, Sophia King, Kam Buckner and Roderick Sawyer.

The forum will be broadcast live on NBC’s streaming channel 5, NBC Chicago News, Peacock, Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo Play and NBCChicago.com. Details on how to find NBC Chicago News are below.

It will also be broadcast on the site of our partner Von.Tv.

Chicago’s municipal general election will be held on Tuesday, February 28. Voters will vote for the mayor, city clerk, city treasurer, aldermen of the 50 wards and candidates for the newly created police district boards.

If no candidate wins a majority of votes in the general election in any race, including the mayoral race, the top two voters will advance to a runoff which will be held on that date April 4.
