Park Ridge Mayoral Debate & Luncheon

The Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Mayoral Debate and Luncheon on February 22.

Acting Mayor and 7th Ward Alderman Marty Maloney and attorney with the law firm of Fuksa Khorshid LLC, Lucas Fuksa will debate each other during the Park Ridge Chamber's February Luncheon.

Guests will enjoy a buffet luncheon and networking prior to the debate.

Promptly at 12:30, we will begin the debate with a time limit of one hour. A coin will be flipped beforehand determining who would go first for the 5 minute introduction and then the first question. Each candidate will have 5 minutes to address the crowd with opening remarks. Then, the moderator will ask a question to one candidate allowing for a 2 minute response followed by a 1 minute reply by the other candidate, and finally a 1 minute rebuttal by the first candidate. This will alternate for the next 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes will again be divided with each candidate having 5 minutes for closing remarks.
