Five of the candidates vying to replace Tish James in City Council traded viewpoints, laughs and a few barbs Wednesday night as they tried to convince members of Fort Greene's Parliament Democratic Club to give them their vote. 

Last night's event hosted Ede Fox, former chief of staff for Council members Jumaane Williams and Melissa Mark-Viverito, MoCADA founder Laurie Cumbo, Jesse Hamilton, an attorney and Crown Heights district leader, Jelani Mashariki, who runs a men's shelter and Richard Hurley, an attorney who has worked for city government and in criminal litigation.
