Neighbors:

 

The West Pasadena Residents' Association encourages you to attend or view the upcoming mayoral debate. 

    

Tuesday, April 7

7 p.m.

Pasadena Convention Center

300 E. Green St.

 

The public is invited to attend a live, televised debate between Pasadena's mayoral candidates Jacque Robinson and Terry Tornek. The debate will be moderated by Larry Mantle, the host of 89.3 FM KPCC's AirTalk radio show.

 

Pasadena Councilmembers Tornek and Robinson are in a run-off election for mayor after receiving the highest percentage of votes in the March 10 primary race, with no single candidate receiving more than 50% of the total votes.

 

The run-off election is April 21.

 

The winner will be the first directly elected mayor for Pasadena in 16 years and only the second directly elected mayor in the City's history.

 

Questions have been submitted by homeowner groups and neighborhood associations, including the West Pasadena Residents' Association, by person-on-the-street interviews and through Twitter and Facebook. 

 

The debate will be simulcast on the Arroyo Channel, the community access station and KPAS, the government access station. KPAS is available on Channel 3, and the Arroyo Channel is seen on Channel 32 for Charter subscribers. KPAS and the Arroyo Channel are both available on the AT&T U-Verse platform on Channel 99/Pasadena.

 

The event will be streamed live on the websites for Pasadena Media and the City's website. The debate will be re-broadcast prior to the election.

 

Seating will be available on a first-come basis beginning at 6:30 p.m. The debate will last at least 60 minutes, followed by a brief meet-and-greet opportunity by the candidates with audience members.

 

The League of Women Voters, Pasadena area, will lend assistance in preparing the questions for the candidates.
