Nine of Regina's eleven mayoral candidates faced off in a debate on Wednesday evening, discussing a variety of topics.
Financial responsibility, infrastructure, housing affordability, public safety and homelessness were all discussion points posed to those who have tossed their hat in the ring.
Much of the night focused on how candidates felt they would be an improvement on the previous city council – a council which two of the mayoral candidates were a part of.
Lori Bresciani is one of them. She served two terms as a councillor and is now looking to move into the mayor’s chair.
Mayor Sandra Masters is seeking a second term.
During one portion of the two-hour long debate, candidates were given the opportunity to direct a question to a fellow candidate. Several of the questions were posed to Masters.
"As the incumbent, you would expect it. Folks are looking for you to test your record, to test decisions," Masters said.
