The six leading Democratic candidates for Baltimore mayor will face off on television for the first time Wednesday, providing them a major platform to pitch themselves to voters right as ballots are mailed out.
The debate — which was recorded remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic — will be broadcast at 8 p.m. Wednesday on WBAL-TV 11 and Maryland Public Television.
Former Mayor Sheila Dixon, City Council President Brandon Scott, former Deputy Attorney General Thiru Vignarajah, former Baltimore Police spokesman T.J. Smith, former U.S. Treasury official Mary Miller and Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young are scheduled to participate.
“As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, we felt it was crucial to provide a platform for our viewers to hear from the candidates,” Dan Joerres, WBAL-TV 11 president and general manager, said in a statement. “There is no question that this in one of the most important mayoral elections in the history of Baltimore City."

Debates are SAD. They make both look desperate pandering and stupid. Politicians do not think on their feet well spontaneously. Trump is a perfect example if you listen to his language and repetitive and weak exclamations he is selling you something that HE and YOU do not even understand.Honey Boo Boo goes to the White House and won't wear a mask because his make up may smear on it like Tammy Fay Bakers pillow case.
More corrupt AA "Politicians".
Northwest Woodsman: Are the candidates both convicted felons? If not, they will be soon.
Opportunity for them to pitch their book ideas and outlines! :)
