Early voting is underway and the May 4 primary is right around the corner. For Cincinnati voters who need more information before making up their mind about who’s best to lead the Queen City over the next four years, the Enquirer is hosting a virtual mayoral debate on April 22.
The debate can be viewed live on Cincinnati.com and The Enquirer's Greater Cincinnati Politics Facebook group at 1 p.m. Five of the six candidates for mayor – Ohio Sen. Cecil Thomas, of Avondale; Cincinnati Councilman David Mann, of Clifton; Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Aftab Pureval, of Clifton; retired Cincinnati firefighter Raffel Prophett, of Avondale; and Businessman Gavi Begtrup, of Mount Lookout – will face off in one of the most important city races of the year. Educator Dr. Herman Najoli, of West Price Hill, told the Enquirer he will be unavailable to participate.
