Full Audio from Streetsblog’s Interviews with the Mayoral Candidates

For those of you that can't get enough of our Mayoral Candidate Interview Series, we bring you the nearly unedited audio from our interview with each of the five candidates. Each interview went on for roughly ten minutes, but Shireen Alihaji and Kris Fortin edited them down so that just the answers to the questions made it into the final cut. However, for anyone that wants to listen to the entire interview, all five can be found below.

Emanuel Pleitez*

Eric Garcetti

Jan Perry

Kevin James

Wendy Greuel

* - There were slight edits to this video as a result of starting questions over after noise interruptions.
