Town Meeting TV is teaming up with Seven Days to host a virtual election forum with Burlington mayoral candidates on Friday, February 5, 2021, from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. 

“We all have a stake in the future of Burlington. This forum gives people direct access to the candidates and city leaders — everyone is encouraged to ask questions,” says Town Meeting TV’s Meghan O’Rourke.

  • Mayor Miro Weinberger, Democrat 
  • Patrick White, Independent
