??Rutgers-Newark??: “Rutgers-Newark Campus To Host Newark’s Four Mayoral Candidates In May 2 Debate”:http://www.newark.rutgers.edu/news/index.php?sId=viewArticle&ArticleID=5125&prevTitle=Top+Stories&prevURL=index.php. One week before election day, Rutgers-Newark will be hosting the mayoral-candidate smackdown on May 2^nd^ at the Robeson Center.
The event at R-N will be the only forum to bring together all four candidates in the nonpartisan election: David Blount, Cory Booker, Ronald L. Rice and Nancy Rosenstock. The format calls for the debate moderator, Desiree Taylor of NJN, to present a series of questions, with each candidate given an equal amount of time to respond to each. Questions will be drawn both from audience questions, submitted shortly before the debate, and questions developed by Student Voices based on input from Newark high school students about local issues they are most concerned about. Doors to the program will open at 6:30 p.m. to allow audience members to submit their questions.
