AUSTIN, TX — The city-sponsored virtual forum for District 2 city council candidates is scheduled on Wednesday, officials reminded.

There is also a forum planned in the event of a runoff election.

The District 2 council seat currently is occupied by Delia Garza, who will soon step down to assume the Travis County Attorney seat she won in a July election.
