Gary Axelbank goes over the rules of the debate with the four Democratic Candidates for the 13th Council District. Since this was a Democratic debate, Republican candidate John Cerini was not present.
The candidates await the questions from Mr. Axelbank. L-r, Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj, District leader Marjorie Velazquez, Community Activist John Doyle, and Egidio Sementelli who ran for the seat in 2005 against the current Councilman Jimmy Vacca.
After the one hour debate host Gary Axelbank stands with the four Democratic candidates. How did the debate go? If you did not see it reruns will be on all week on Bronxnet TV, or you can go to the Bronxnet website at www.bronxnet.org and go to the Bronxtalk icon to find the show.
The debate went well with the three top candidates showing their professionalism. There were a few jabs at Assemblyman Gjonaj, but he was able to take the High Road. In my opinion his opponents are going have to try harder to show why they are the better choice.
