The three Democrats vying to replace Ward 3 City Councilwoman Karin Uhlich will face off Wednesday at a debate organized by the Arizona Daily Star and the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Teacher Felicia Chew, businessman Tom Tronsdal and attorney Paul Durham have all agreed to participate in the 90-minute debate, which will be held at Tucson Medical Center, 5301 E. Grant Road.
Firefighter Gary Watson, who is running as an independent in November’s election, is also scheduled to participate.
The event is free to the public and will be held inside the hospital’s main auditorium. Doors will open to the public at 5:30 p.m., with the debate scheduled to begin at 6.
The winner of the Aug. 29 ward primary will face Watson. There is no Republican candidate for the position.
