On June 23, seven candidates for Governor of Rhode Island debated each other. See this story. Participating were two Democrats, two Republicans, two independents, and the only candidate running in the Moderate Party primary. The Rhode Island primary is not until September 14.
The news story is notable for giving a fair amount of space to describe what each candidate said. Sometimes press stories about multi-party debates say virtually nothing about the non-major party candidates.
Fine debate, fine article– democracy at work, for a
change.
