Miami mayor frontrunners to join League of Women Voters candidate forum

The City of Miami’s mayoral election is headed to a runoff, and voters will get a chance to ask questions to the two frontrunners directly this week.

The League of Women Voters of Miami-Dade will hold a candidate forum Thursday that candidates Emilio Gonzalez and Eileen Higgins are slated to attend.

Marisol Zenteno, the League's president, said attendees are invited to send in questions for the two mayoral hopefuls — and some themes have arisen from the questions that have already come in.

"People are concerned between housing affordability to transportation to potholes in the streets and business owners," Zenteno told WLRN. "I'm hoping [the candidates] will be transparent and honest with addressing community concerns."
