BOSTON (CBS) – The final candidates to become Boston's next mayor will meet for their first one-on-one debate on Wednesday, October 13. Annissa Essaibi George and Michelle Wu will debate at 7 p.m. from the WBZ-TV studios.

There will be the option for the candidates to question one another directly, and raise other relevant topics.
