Mayoral candidates to talk buildings, tourism, business, more

There are at least four chances to see and hear candidates for mayor this week:

  • BUILDPhilly Mayoral Forum at the Kimmel Center (8 a.m. Tuesday, RSVP to attend)
  • Mayoral Candidates Forum on Hospitality & Tourism at the Pa. Convention Center (7 p.m. Tuesday, livestreamed on 6ABC)
  • Mayor 100: A Minority Owned Business Policy Forum, at The Enterprise Center in West Philly (6 p.m. Thursday, RSVP to attend)
  • Philadelphia Muslim Community Mayoral Candidates Forum at Masjidullah in West Oak Lane (5 p.m. Saturday, RSVP to attend)

Two new contenders are not included in the forums above; their names weren’t really part of the discussion until they filed nominating petitions. Candidate John Wood is a former PPP lieutenant running on a public safety platform. Candidate Delscia Gray is still a mystery (reach out if you have info).
