The mayoral debate at Greater Zion Church Family in Compton, California on May 16 was long and fierce as candidates tried presenting themselves in the best light in front of an enthusiastic audience.

All the candidates involved in the mayoral race attended the event except for Inez "Tootie" Adkins. Attendees were Marlow Wilkerson, current Mayor Emma Sharif, Omar Bradley Jr., Bishop Leroy Guillory, and Second District Councilman Andre Spicer.

A good portion of the discussion centered around the revolving door of city managers that have come and gone and fixing an epic potholes problem, a longtime headache for city residents.

Candidates running for elections races in Compton's District 2 and District 3, District 43, as well as for City Treasurer and the California State Assembly District 65 seat, were in attendance and spoke as well. Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs made the case for voters to choose him in the June 2 election.

The "You Choose...Compton 2026 event was sponsored by Compton Fest.
