2026 City of Fargo Mayoral Debate
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 (6:30 PM - 8:00 PM) (CDT)
Description

As the City of Fargo prepares to elect its next mayor, this debate brings together the candidates seeking to lead the city at a pivotal moment for growth, development and long-term planning.
Hosted by the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce, the Building Industry Association of the Red River Valley and the Downtown Community Partnership, this event creates a structured, nonpartisan environment for candidates to share their perspectives on the issues shaping Fargo’s future.
Attendees will hear directly from each candidate through opening and closing remarks, moderated questions and a rapid-response round designed to highlight priorities, decision-making and leadership approach. Topics will reflect key areas impacting the business community and broader region.
This is an opportunity for business leaders, residents and stakeholders to better understand where each candidate stands and how they plan to lead Fargo forward.
The debate will be held at the historic Fargo Theatre and will follow a formal format to ensure fairness, consistency and equal opportunity for all participants.
Additional event details will be released once the official candidate filing period has closed.
