Eric Genrich and Patrick Buckley will debate each other one final time ahead of election day next week. Both candidates survived February’s primary, but only one of them will take over a mayor seat that has been occupied for the last 16 years.

Genrich took home a commanding 44% of votes while Buckley narrowly took the last seat with 18%.
