Boston mayoral debate candidates meet up in first one-on-one debate

For the first time, Boston voters will be deciding between two women for their next mayor, and both women took to the stage Wednesday night for the first one-on-one debate of the election. 

Both mayoral candidates, Annissa Essaibi George and Michelle Wu, the top two vote-getters in the September preliminary contest, are Democrats and city councilors — with moderator Jon Keller saying at one point "I'm not seeing a lot of distinction between you two." 

The candidates stuck to the issues and stayed away from personal attacks on Wednesday.
