More mayoral, city council and other citywide office candidate forums are coming to a screen near you.
Several forums are scheduled from Wednesday, Feb. 22 to Thursday, March 2 featuring every elected position that you'll see on your ballot and a two-part mayoral discussion.
The forums will be moderated by Denver 7 anchors Micah Smith and Russell Haythorn.
So far, there have been two large mayoral debates, a Fair Elections Fund debate at Regis University featuring 16 of the candidates and another FEF debate at Metropolitan State University hosted by 9News featuring 13 of the candidates, including Kwame Spearman, Chris Hansen, Lisa Calderón, Mike Johnston, Trinidad Rodriguez, James Walsh, Ean Thomas Tafoya, Aurelio Martinez, Leslie Herod, Thomas Wolf, Debbie Ortega, Kelly Brough and Terrance Roberts.
There's also been one at-large city council debate at Regis University, including all the candidates Will Chan, Dominic Diaz, Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, Tim Hoffman, Travis Leiker, Sarah Parady, Penfield Tate III, Jeff Walker and Marty Zimmerman.
Sprinkled throughout the city, council debates have also been held, including a District 10 debate at Cleo Parker Robinson Dance that led to a callout for more ADA accessibility compliance when Councilmember Chris Hinds, who uses a wheelchair, wasn't able to get on stage.
You can watch the municipal election debates on Denver8 TV, DenverDecides.org or on the City's Facebook page.
