With so much news pertaining to the mayoral race this year, it's difficult to determine the position of the candidates. Wouldn't it be great if you could just sit with each one for ten minutes and discuss the issues of the day? These were filmed over the summer. It was part of a series, with a theme. Community members were paired up with different candidates and asked to have a conversation. The result was something that might be considered more organic and authentic than traditional news; something insightful and helpful to those who are still determining which candidate they would like to vote for; everyone is hoping for one of the biggest turnouts in #nhv voting history. Voting day is November 5th. If you are looking for your polling location, try
