The debate included 5 of the 6 candidates who qualified to be on the ballot for Mayor for the City of Jackson. Incumbent Mayor Scott Conger is being opposed by five oppo- nents which include:

City Court Clerk Daryl Hubbard, Educator Lisa Williams-Lyons, precious 2019 Mayoral candidate Dr Jerry Woods, automotive software manager, Ray Condray and Paul Sherrod who did not show up for the debate. He had been arrested in charges of domestic assault according to records at the Madison County jail.

He was still in custody and has a bond of $90,000 which had been set for 3 charges.
