2:00:36Now PlayingFor the first time since 2011, there won't be an incumbent seeking reelection since Mayor Michael Hancock is term-limited after serving three terms. A total of 17 candidates qualified to have their names printed on the ballot.
Among them are two state lawmakers, a veteran city councilor, a former state lawmaker and nonprofit chief, the former longtime head of the city's chamber of commerce, several prominent social justice advocates, and two CEOs who own or co-own homegrown local businesses.
All 13 candidates receiving matching funds from the Fair Elections Fund are participating in Thursday's debate: Kelly Brough, Lisa Calderon, Chris Hansen, Leslie Herod, Mike Johnston, Aurelio Martinez, Debbie Ortega, Terrance Roberts, Trinidad Rodriguez, Kwame Spearman, Ean Tafoya, James Walsh, and Thomas Wolf.
Mayoral candidates participating in the Fair Elections Fund are required to participate in two debates sanctioned by the Fair Elections Fund.
Four additional candidates are not receiving matching funds from the Fair Elections Fund: Renate Behrens, Al Gardner, Andy Rougeot, and Robert Treta.
Ballots will go out by mail on March 13, and voters have until April 4 to vote.
If no candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates will compete in a run-off on June 6.
