L.A. Votes: Wendy Greuel, Eric Garcetti debate tonight on KABC7
With the Los Angeles mayoral runoff election now 11 days away, rivals Wendy Greuel and Eric Garcetti will face off in a live televised debate Friday night at 7.
The debate, to be broadcast on KABC-TV (Channel 7), comes a day after Cal State L.A. released a poll showing the candidates virtually tied among likely voters in the May 21 runoff, with Greuel at 46% and Garcetti at 45%.
With the campaign entering its final stretch this week, the candidates and their allies are running a series of hard-hitting TV ads that portend a confrontational debate between Greuel, the city controller, and Garcetti, a city councilman.
The debate will take place at Cal State L.A. It is sponsored by the university’s Pat Brown Institute of Public Affiars and the League of Women Voters of Los Angeles.
