Boca Raton City Candidate Debate

The Boca Raton city candidate debate was held this past Wednesday and provided an opportunity to present their platforms to the residents of Boca Raton. The debate was moderated by the Palm Beach County League of Women Voters and was viewed by over 100 attendees.

The debate was split into three segments.  The two mayoral candidates debated during the first segment and candidates for Council Seat B and Seat D debated in the subsequent two segments, respectively. Topics included the pension for city employees, retail and residential development, cost of living, jobs, sustainability, and traffic and parking and affordable housing.  All of the questions were presented by the moderator and there was no question and answer session with members of the public. However, the candidates stayed afterward and spoke to those in attendance at the conclusion of the debate.
