The first of six mayoral debates for the runoff campaign between San Diego City Councilmen David Alvarez and Kevin Faulconer will take place next week, organizers said Wednesday.
Residents will have an opportunity to meet with the candidates and ask them questions at the event hosted by the Rancho Bernardo Community Council and the Rancho de los Penasquitos Town Council.
The forum will be moderated by 10News reporter Allison Ash.
The organizers said children are invited to attend so they can observe the democratic process in action.
Faulconer received 42.2 percent of the votes in last week's special election. Alvarez picked up 27.2 percent.
The forum is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Ed Brown Senior Center, 18402 West Bernardo Drive. The center is part of the Rancho Bernardo Community Park.
The election date has not been set, but is expected to be either Feb. 4 or Feb. 11.
