PILSEN — Following the enthusiastic response to our one-on-one interviews with mayoral candidates ahead of the Feb. 28 election, journalist and Block Club Board President Laura Washington is hosting two more in-depth fireside chats — this time, live and in person!
“The Ballot: Live with Laura Washington — Runoff Edition” will consist of two separate, hour-long chats with candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas ahead of the election.
The first conversation, with Washington and Johnson, kicks off Wednesday at Thalia Hall 1807 S. Allport St. Doors open at 3:30 p.m., and the conversation will begin at 4:30. You can watch a livestream here.
The conversation with Vallas is March 27, also at Thalia Hall. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the conversation starts at 4 p.m.
The events will be free to the public, but you must RSVP here if you want to attend in person.
We will host the archived videos on blockclubchicago.org.
