UPDATE: Carlee Alm-LaBar has responded to Josh Guillory's proposed debates.

- Mayor-President Joel Robideaux would host a debate on Thursday, November 7 at 9 a.m, or Thursday, November 14 at 9 a.m.
- KADN would tape a debate to be aired on Wednesday, November 15 at 5 p.m. on NBC, and then they would re-air the same night, but at 9:30 p.m. on Fox.
Guillory says,
I am looking forward to debating my opponent in the final week of the election so that voters have an opportunity to see and hear the candidates before going to the polls. I am proposing three debates, and have secured venues, along with a range options for dates and times. I have made time to commit to all three debates, that feature venues and entities that have not yet hosted forums or debates.
