The most significant debate of the primary season is coming to Georgetown’s own Capitol Campus.
Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service (GU Politics) has partnered with
FOX 5 DC for a live, one-hour televised debate at the
McCourt School of Public Policy, 125 E St. NW, on
Monday, May 18 at 7 PM. With the first open mayoral seat in 20 years on the line, this debate — moderated by FOX 5’s Jim Lokay and Katie Barlow alongside GU Politics Executive Director Mo Elleithee — is the highest-profile event of the cycle. Confirmed candidates include Gary Goodweather, Janeese Lewis George, and Kenyan McDuffie. Watch live on
FOX 5 or stream free at

partnership in 2022.
