Wichita Independent Neighborhoods (WIN), an advocacy organization for neighbors and neighborhoods in the city, will host a mayoral forum on Monday night in downtown Wichita. KMUW’s Carla Eckels reports…

WIN Representative Janet Wilson says the forum will feature both candidates running for Wichita mayor, Jeff Longwell and Sam Williams.

According to Wilson, WIN's forum will concentrate on the mayoral candidates so that people can be informed before they got to the polls.

Wilson says audience members will be able to ask the candidates questions during the event as time allows. The forum is one of several taking place before the general election April 7th.

Monday's mayoral forum starts at 5:30pm at the United Way of the Plains located at 245 N Water St in downtown Wichita.
