ABC7 Chicago anchors Judy Hsu and Terrell Brown will lead the 60-minute town hall, with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson answering a wide-range of questions submitted by numerous community organizations. The station's political reporter Craig Wall will facilitate the conversation between Mayor Johnson and the members of those groups who are in the audience.
"On behalf of ABC7, we appreciate Mayor Johnson taking the time to answer questions from the community. Creating space for real conversations is important to all Chicagoans and is central to our mission of serving our viewers," said John Idler, ABC7 Chicago president and general manager.
"I value the opportunity to speak directly with Chicagoans, answer their questions and hear their concerns to gain a firsthand sense of how the city can better support and uplift all of our residents," Mayor Brandon Johnson said. "I want to thank ABC7 for organizing this conversation and creating a space for constructive engagement as we come together to build Chicago into the safest, most affordable big city in America."
The ABC7 Mayoral Town Hall will be broadcast live on ABC7 and will stream live on ABC7Chicago.com, on ABC7 Chicago's news app and Facebook page, and on ABC7's 24/7 streaming channels.
