Rather than having all nine candidates at once, WCPT split up the debate.
With little more than a month until the mayoral election, this was the time for each candidate to show Chicago voters why they deserve the city's top job.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot stood by her record and touted her triumphs at the first televised Chicago mayoral debate – while other candidates questioned her claims and said her policies had failed, particularly when it comes to crime. CBS 2's Marissa Perlman reports.
On the mayoral side, only two of the nine candidates showed up to the GOP forum – businessman Willie Wilson and Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th). The absence of the other candidates did not sit too well with the crowd. CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reports.
