Six East Side neighborhood groups are sponsoring the forum.

The candidates will face off in a primary election Tuesday Aug. 12. Since no Republican has announced a candidacy, the Democratic primary winner likely will be the only candidate on the Nov. 4 general election ballot.

The forum is free and open to the public. Bruce Murphy, editor of Urban Milwaukee, will moderate the event.
