The Iowa City City Council candidates’ debate on Nov. 6 will be aired at 3 p.m. on City Channel 4 to allow voters to become more informed about each candidate.

The election will be held Nov. 8. The program will begin with a Meet the Candidates series, which allows each candidate eight minutes to speak to Iowa City residents. Voters will then learn more about each candidate’s views through short sound bites of information collected through the media.

The four candidates vying for two at-large seats are incumbent Matt Hayek, Jarrett Mitchell, Raj Patel, and Michelle Payne. Steve Soboroff and Rick Dobyns are running for the District A seat, and Jim Throgmorton is campaigning unopposed for the District C seat.

The program will then air four City Council candidate forums. The marathon will play again Tuesday afternoon.
