An upcoming series of conversations with leading candidates in the Los Angeles mayoral race will feature Patch readers' questions—perhaps your own.

The "Talking About Los Angeles" series, co-sponsored by Patch, begins Thursday with the interview of City Councilman Eric Garcetti.

The event, to be shown on Patch via a live video stream, will be held at 3:30 p.m. at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, 400 W. Washington Blvd.

Selected questions from Patch readers will be included in the interview. If you have a question you would like considered for Councilman Garcetti, email it to tala@patch.com or post it in the Comments area below.

The moderator for the event will be Anthony Salcito, vice president of worldwide education for Microsoft Corp., the event's lead sponsor.

Other candidates who have committed to appear in the series are Austin Beutner, Wendy Greuel, Kevin James and Jan Perry. Dates and locations for their conversations have not yet been announced.

The election is on March 5, 2013.

Topics for the conversations include:

• Transportation, goods movement and infrastructure;
• Environment, green technology, resource protection, energy policies;
• Quality of life issues—public safety, neighborhoods and city services;
• Business climate, job creation and the local economy;
• Education and workforce development;
