CityClub Sponsored Local Debates

CityClub-produced debates put local candidates up close and personal with the people they seek to represent. Because we partner with television, radio and online media outlets for local debates, we reach tens of thousands of voters who can compare and contrast candidates and then make more informed choices at the ballot box.

CityClub aims to bring candidates and voters together to learn the facts about public problems and to explore differing approaches to solve them. We strive to eradicate polarization, end indifference and empower people with knowledge in a safe and civil environment.
