2013 Election Coverage Continues on MNN

Democracy doesn't end with the primary, which is why we're broadcasting candidate debates for the Manhattan Borough President and several City Council races, hosted in collaboration with the League of Women Voters of the City of New York and as part of our Race2Represent hyperlocal election coverage.

In addition to the Manhattan Borough President debate between Democratic Candidate Gale Brewer and Republican candidate David Casavis, we will present debates for Council District 4 (Democratic candidate Dan Garodnick vs. Republican candidate Helene Jnane); Council District 5 (Democratic candidate Ben Kallos vs. Republican candidate David Garland); and Council District 6 (Democratic Candidate Helen Rosenthal; Republican candidate Harry DeMell; and Green Party candidate Tom Siracuse). We will also air one-on-one conversations with Council District 2 Green Party candidate Miles Budde and Council District 7 Green Party candidate Christina Gonzalez. In addition, we will air district overviews and candidate statements for each of the 10 Council Districts in Manhattan.

All shows will air on MNN 1 (TWC 34, RCN 82, FiOS 33) @ 8 pm.  You can also stream the shows live.

Here's the full schedule:

Monday, Oct. 21: Manhattan Borough President
