All 3 City Mayoral candidates to debate on Buckmaster radio show

by on Oct. 20, 2011, under Life, Media, Politics

Here’s information for those of you undecided about the upcoming City of Tucson Mayoral election since vote-by-mail ballots were mailed yesterday on October 19– listen to the Buckmaster Show on KVOI AM 1030 radio tomorrow, at high noon to hear all 3 Mayoral candidates debate. I am sure that host Bill Buckmaster will ask them several tough questions about the City of Tucson’s financial & management woes, for this hour long special show.

Who’s running for Mayor (no incumbent):
Mary DeCamp (G)
Rick Grinnell (R)
Jonathan Rothschild (D)

And if you miss it live, log onto www.buckmastershow.com later in the afternoon to hear the Standard Podcast recording. I often do that whenever I’ve been busy at lunchtime.

Read my previous blog about campaign websites of these candidates, plus those running for City Council Wards 1, 2 and 4 (click here).

Vote wisely on/before the General Election on November 8. For information on where to vote in person, here’s the City of Tucson website with 7 voting locations (click here).

UPDATE: Here’s the link for the 10/21/11 show, http://www.buckmastershow.com/2011/10/21/buckmaster-show-10212011-tucson-radios-only-mayoral-debate/

    Reminder: Listen to this radio show today, at high noon.  Ballots arrived yesterday for the first vote-by-mail election for a City of Tucson General Election.

      I received mail saying that a ballot would be mailed, but haven’t received a ballot.

      I hate this vote by mail. 

      • Carolyn Classen

        Wait a day or so, and if your ballot hasn’t arrived, call the City Clerk’s office at 520-791-3221. And listen to the Buckmaster show today!

          If Buckmaster asks about Occupy Tucson and the curfew I’ll listen.

            OOps – I take that back – I dont have an AM radio

            Maybe I’ll listen to the podcast.

            AM Radio and mail-in ballots – how backwards can a town get ? 

          • Carolyn Classen

            Green Mayoral candidate Mary DeCamp is camped out in a tent at Occupy Tucson, and received a citation for staying beyond 10:30 p.m. on Sat. 10/15.  This movement is relevant to her as her Tucson home is being foreclosed upon on 11/10/11.   I’ll email Bill to mention this topic to him for the interview today.

    Thanks for the tip – the KVOI website streams for those who don’t have AM radios.

    Rothschild was quite disappointing – I’m voting Green 

    • Carolyn Classen

      Bill Buckmaster did ask about Occupy Tucson.  Glad you got to hear it via Live Stream. I listened to the entire show as well.
