WBHM and the Birmingham Business Journal partnered to present the 2017 Birmingham Mayoral Debate. We hear from the top three candidates in Birmingham’s race for mayor as determined by public polling: incumbent Mayor William Bell, and challengers Chris Woods and Randall Woodfin.
The program was recorded at the Harbert Center in downtown Birmingham in front of a live audience. The debate begins with opening statements.
