Grand Rapids mayoral candidates debate 2 weeks out from Election Day

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids mayoral candidates David LaGrand and Senita Lenear debated Monday night inside the Wealthy Theatre just about two weeks out from Election Day.

The candidates were asked about transportation, housing, parking, student absenteeism, people who are unhoused, crime and more in front of dozens of attendees.

Formal questions stemmed from a community survey, like how to improve transportation to support equity throughout neighborhoods.

Lenear responded, "I do believe that one of the solutions really is diversifying our modes of transportation," and, "I think that we should look at shuttles that shuttle people from within neighborhood business districts downtown, and people who are downtown into the neighborhood business districts."
