Wilmington’s Power Breakfast Dishes Up Election Insights

Elections will be on the menu for the Wilmington Business Journal’s Power Breakfast as the sold-out event brings together business and civic leaders to hear directly from the candidates shaping Wilmington’s future.

On Friday, September 12, attendees will gather at the Wilmington Convention Center for a morning of networking and panel conversations. The program features two engaging discussions: one with the mayoral candidates and another with those running for City Council. Each panel will tackle issues crucial to the business community and the broader region, offering insight into priorities and plans from those seeking to lead.

Wilmington Mayoral Candidates

With Mayor Bill Saffo facing two challengers this fall and eight candidates—including two incumbents—competing for three City Council seats, this breakfast promises vital discussions that matter to everyone invested in the region’s success.
