[Greater-Baltimore] Baltimore City Mayoral DebateMarch 3 at NFB Headquarters

[Ringlein, Ellen]

Dear Federation Colleagues,

I have been asked to share the following.

Ellen

The Baltimore City Mayoral Debate that will take place at 200 East Wells Street is less than a week away and it looks like we're going to have a great turn-out! One hundred eighty people have said they will attend, and almost seven hundred people have expressed interest in attending on Facebook. At this time, eleven out of the thirteen Democratic candidates have confirmed that they will participate in the debate, including a majority of the frontrunners. The other two candidates have expressed interest in participating, but we have not received their official confirmations yet. If you would like to submit questions to be considered for the debate, please email John Paré at johngpare at gmail.com<mailto:johngpare at gmail.com> or Lou Ann Blake at lblake at nfb.org<mailto:lblake at nfb.org>, and we'll still do our best to incorporate any questions that we receive before the event during our preparation process for the moderator, WYPR's Tom Hall. You will also have the opportunity to submit questions during the debate. Please try to spread the word about the event, and we hope to see you there!  Below is additional information about the event.
