In the first campaign forum of the cycle, only two of the six candidates in the race bothered to show up.
---
Democrats Gwen Myers, Thomas Scott, and Frank Reddick were not in attendance. Nor was the lone Republican in the race,
Maura Cruz Lanz.
---
Myers told Spectrum Bay News 9 that the forum conflicted with a prior
campaign commitment.
---
Only the 2 grassroots canidates showed up, Sky U. White and Rick Fernandez.
---
“This is the first forum we’ve had and we’re 90 days out from the election,” White said after the debate. “People want to hear what we’re about. What we plan on doing.
What’s our vision?”
---
“They made a statement to the community,” Fernandez said afterward, refusing to say what that statement was. “I’m just glad Sky was here. I think a service was done by the folks who put this together.”
