Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams skipped Tuesday night’s debate, but that didn’t stop the other candidates from taking shots at the incumbent. In his first re-election attempt as mayor, Dennis Williams is obviously the main target for the six men vying to replace him. It was no surprise then that the way Williams has run the city for the past four years was a common refrain from those six challengers who attended the WHYY/NewsJournal sponsored debate Tuesday night at the Grand Opera House in downtown Wilmington. Williams decided not to attend, saying he had to prepare for his budget presentation to City Council on March 31.
