NEW YORK — Leading Republican candidates in the race to replace Mayor Bill de Blasio will share their views on shaping the future of New York City during an exclusive one-hour debate on PIX11 News on Thursday.

Viewers can tune in to PIX11 and to live-streams on PIX11.com and on the PIX11 News app. The debate will air from 8 – 9 p.m.

PIX11 anchor Dan Mannarino and reporters Ayana Harry and Henry Rosoff will moderate.

Candidates Curtis Sliwa and Fernando Mateo will be hosted at PIX11’s Manhattan studios and the debate will be broadcast live. They will not make opening statements, but the mayoral hopefuls will be allowed 30 seconds each for a closing statement so they can make their case to New York City voters.
