(Editor's note: You can watch the entire debate in the video player above. The debate is in three segments, which is how it aired on TV.)

EL PASO, Texas -- With just a couple of weeks left before El Pasoans decide who will lead El Paso for the next four years, the candidates debated the issues on ABC-7 Xtra Sunday edition with host Saul Saenz.

Although there are six candidates vying for the position, four of those candidates met head to head.

Incumbent Mayor Dee Margo faced off with former mayor Oscar Leeser, attorney Veronica Carbajal and former city planner Carlos Gallinar.

The candidates discussed issues from the handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2012 quality of life bond project cost overruns, the use of certificates of obligation to finish those projects, and the future of Duranguito.
