WEST TOLEDO - Toledo mayoral candidates Mike Bell and Keith Wilkowski were invited to an informal debate late Wednesday afternoon, which aired live on FOX Toledo News and streamed on FOXToledo.com.
The hour-long debate originated from the University of Toledo's Driscoll Center.
The debate was hosted by FOX Toledo field anchor Shaun Hegarty and moderated by FOX Toledo anchor Laura Emerson, Toledo Free Press reporter Brandi Barhite. Glass City Jungle blog moderator Lisa Renee Ward conducted a live online chat.

The debate was sponsored by international architecture and engineering firm SSOE, Inc., the University of Toledo, and hosted by The Toledo Free Press and FOX Toledo News.
Approximately three minutes of the debate is missing due to a technical issue. Over 55 minutes of the debate was aired.
Bell, an Independent, and Wilkowski, a Democrat, will replace current Glass City Mayor Carleton Finkbeiner, who announced this past summer he would not run for another term.
