Creating more opportunities for black people and having a better education system in Marion County were just a couple of the many topics discussed in the first Indianapolis Mayoral debate between Democratic incumbent Joe Hogsett and his Republican challenger Jefferson Shreve on Sunday night.

The debate was put on by the African American Coalition of Indianapolis (AACI) in partnership with the Indianapolis Recorder and Radio One. The first question was for both candidates to explain how they differ from one another since they both are similar in physical appearance and have ideas that don’t differ all that much, especially when it comes to gun control.

WIBC has more.
