See the CD 13 Candidates Debate in the Elysian Valley

The moderated conversation between John Choi and Mitch O'Farrell takes place Tuesday evening at Dorris Place Elementary School.

On Tuesday, voters will have what is likely a last chance to see the two candidates in the runoff election for the Los Angeles City Council District 13 seat together. John Choi and Mitch O'Farrell will face off at Dorris Place Elementary School at 6:30 p.m.

The 90-minute conversation will take place in the school's auditorium at 2225 Dorris Place. Sponsored by the Elysian Valley-Riverside Neighborhood Council, the event will feature pre-prepared questions asked by community members.

According to organizer Jeff Klein, the event will be moderated by Tracy Stone and Steve Appleton of the EVRNC. Klein, who chairs the EVRNC's Outreach Committee, told us in an email that candidates will have four minutes to answer each question, which will cover Metrolink, the Los Angeles River, business/economic development and other issues related to the Eastside and Los Angeles in general.

He said this will give the participants more time than they had to respond at the EVRNC's forum for all 12 primary candidates, where responses were limited to one minute. Klein said he expects about 40 to 50 to attend. Spanish-language translation will be provided and refreshments will be served.

RSVPs are encouraged at outreach.evrnc@gmail.com.
