The local politics event of the season will be taking place tonight at Town Hall as the six candidates who are trying to become the next Ed Murray square off, all of them vying for the coveted endorsement of the 43rd District Democrats.

Our intern, Sarah Mirk, previews the event in the current Stranger, here. And if you’re just looking for the address and start time, here it is:

Town Hall

1119 8th Avenue (at Seneca Street)

6 pm — “Social Hour Mix and Mingle”

7:30 pm — Debate

Murray, who is giving up his seat in the state House of Representatives to run for state Senate, will be there offering “remarks,” along with Speaker of the House Frank Chopp.

And former city councilwoman Heidi Wills will be moderating the debate between the candidates, who are, in no particular order: Bill Sherman, Jamie Pedersen, Lynne Dodson, Stephanie Pure, Jim Street, and Dick Kelley.

Back in April, we hosted a whole week of Slogging by five of these candidates. You can see their posts here. We also ran a story about the sixth candidate, which you can find here.

See you at the debate!
