After months of campaigning, Apopka's mayoral candidates are set to engage in a live debate tonight at the Apopka High School Performing Arts Center.

 

Incumbent Mayor Bryan Nelson will highlight his administration's achievements, emphasizing completed infrastructure projects and ongoing initiatives.

 

Orange County Commissioner Christine Moore is expected to focus on her expertise in regional planning, advocating for strategic growth management and enhanced intergovernmental collaboration.

 

Apopka City Commissioner Nick Nesta will likely address fiscal responsibility, proposing comprehensive audits and increased transparency within City Hall.

 

The debate, co-sponsored by The Apopka Chief and WESH 2 News, will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and will be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person.

 

With the election scheduled for March 10, this event offers voters a crucial opportunity to assess each candidate's platform and leadership style.

 

Key topics anticipated include utility rate adjustments, development policies, and the recent legal challenge concerning Moore's residency qualifications.

 

As Apopka continues to navigate growth and change, tonight's debate promises to be a pivotal moment in shaping the city's future leadership.
