With early voting beginning Saturday, November 1st, WWL has conducted runoff debates and interviews for all key races.
The above player is the full audio for the District E runoff debate between Nguyen and Hughes, moderated by Newell Normand and Dave Cohen. Among many issues pertinent to District E, they discuss economic stagnation/opportunity, blight, and crime.
