The Auburn Reporter will host a mayoral debate between two-time incumbent Pete Lewis and challenger Virginia Haugen at 7 p.m. today at the Auburn Avenue Theater, 10 Auburn Ave.

The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The debate will be free. The theater is limited to 270 people. Tickets will be available at the door only.

To keep a civil and neutral atmosphere, attendees are asked not to bring any campaign paraphernalia including buttons or banners to the theater. There will be no flash photography, no food or drink, and no heckling. To be considerate of the candidates and moderator, attendees will be asked to remain in their seats during the debate.

Auburn Mountainview High School Debate Teacher Deborah Rumbaugh will moderate the debate and several of her students will assist her.

Ballots will be mailed Oct. 14 for the all-mail, Nov. 3 general election.
