All throughout October, The Newsroom will feature special coverage of the 2021 elections for Wilmington's city council and mayoral seats. With eight candidates for council and a head-to-head battle for mayor, it will be an interesting month.

Every Friday in October, WHQR's The Newsroom will bring you coverage of the 2021 Wilmington election and interviews with the candidates.

This week, host Ben Schachtman and reporter Kelly Kenoyer interview incumbent councilman Charlie Rivenbark and challenger Philip White, who is making his second run for council. We'll ask them about everything from stormwater to social justice, from public safety to public-private projects.
