Wilmington residents tell WHYY about the issues
There is one more opportunity for Wilmington residents to help shape the issues we will present to the 5 democrats running for mayor of Wilmington.
That forum will be held Wednesday August 1 at Eastside Charter School, 300 North Claymont Street. We’d love to get a head count so that we may provide refreshments. You can email us at firstdelaware@whyy.org or call and leave a message at 302-657-8215. However, if you wake up on 8/1 and decide you want to attend, just do it. We have a debate organized for Tuesday August 14th at the University of Delaware-Wilmington campus. We’ll have details soon. What should you expect at these forums? Here’s Nichelle Polston with a report on our July 18th event at West End House.
WHYY is your source for fact-based, in-depth journalism and information. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on financial support from readers like you. Please give today.
