Voters in Lansing will go to the polls tomorrow for a primary election that will narrow the field of candidates for mayor and the city council. Mayor Virg Bernero is running for another term, and he has four challengers. The top two candidates will advance to November’s general election.

Joining Current State today to talk about mayor's race in Lansing are reporter Lindsay Van Hulle of the Lansing State Journal, and Andy Balaskovitz, managing editor of Lansing City Pulse.
