TOPEKA (KSNT) – The debate between Topeka’s two mayoral candidates, Spencer Duncan and Henry McClure, was held Thursday evening.
McClure and Duncan answered questions from the public tonight over topics ranging from city infrastructure and taxes, to homelessness and city population. People also had the chance to submit their own questions to each candidate with the goal of public transparency.
“Public safety, improving the way we do infrastructure and transparency, and making sure that people have more of a voice in the processes in government.” said Duncan.
