Detroit mayoral debate features Bridge reporter
Bridge Magazine reporter Chastity Pratt Dawsey is among the panelists at a debate Wednesday between incumbent Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and his challenger, state Sen. Coleman A. Young II.
The debate, from 8 to 9 p.m., is the only one before the Nov. 7 nonpartisan mayoral election. It will be broadcast live on Detroit Public Television and WDIV-Local 4, streamed live on Bridgemi.com, as well as dptv.org, clickondetroit.org and detroitnews.com, and simulcast on WDET-FM and WJR-AM.
Pratt, who reports on Detroit for Bridge, will pose questions along with WDIV anchor Kimberly Gill and Detroit News reporter Christine Ferretti. Each will ask the candidates three questions.
The debate, which is in WDIV’s downtown studios with no audience, will be moderated by WDIV anchor Devin Scillian.
