Five candidates vying for the mayoral position in Fargo will participate in a radio debate on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. The event, hosted by local station KFGO, aims to give voters an opportunity to hear the candidates discuss their platforms and answer questions from the public.

“This debate is an important chance for residents to engage with the candidates and understand their visions for Fargo’s future,” said KFGO program director.

The candidates include incumbent Mayor Tim Mahoney, former City Commissioner Arlette Preston, and community activist Dave O’Neill among others. The debate will be aired live at 5 p.m. and will provide listeners with the chance to submit questions via social media.

The radio debate follows previous forums held in the community, as the candidates work to gain voter support ahead of the general election scheduled for November 7, 2023. These discussions are crucial in a race where key issues include public safety, economic development, and infrastructure.

Fargo’s mayoral race has garnered attention due to increased voter engagement and a competitive field, reflecting heightened interest in local governance.
