Gubernatorial Debates Set

The campaigns of Barry Hess & Janet Napolitano have agreed to a statewide series of debates to give Arizonans an opportunity to hear & compare their respective views.

Those dates are:
* Thurs., Oct. 5th, at the studios of KAET-TV in Tempe. Televised. (Required by Clean Elections rules).
* Tues., Oct. 10th, in Tucson (venue TBD).
* Thurs., Oct. 12th, in Flagstaff (venue TBD).

Although representatives of the Munsil campaign have issued a number of news releases asking for debates, they have not yet agreed to a date or location for any debate.

"We need to get going & move forward," said Napolitano campaign manager Noah Kroloff. "People all over the state want to hear from the candidates. Stalling only makes these kinds of events more difficult to schedule." Kroloff called on the campaigns to meet within the next few days to finalize details.

Libertarian candidate Hess added, "I look forward to a spirited debate & am grateful for the opportunity of the venues & for the opportunity for each of us to bring our ideas to the people of Arizona."
