NEW YORK — More than 20 people have launched campaigns to replace Mayor Bill de Blasio as leader of New York City and the Republican front-runners will be featured in a Thursday-night debate on PIX11 News.
The debate, which will feature two Republican candidates, will include Curtis Sliwa and Fernando Mateo.
PIX11’s Dan Mannarino, Ayana Harry and Henry Rosoff will ask the mayoral candidates questions on a variety of topics, including jobs, crime, education and housing.
