New York fills the vacant 9th district U.S. House seat on September 13. Three candidates are on the ballot: Democrat David Weprin, Republican Bob Turner, and Socialist Workers nominee Christopher Hoeppner. All three candidates debated on Queens Public TV on August 23. The debate will be broadcast on four dates: (1) Friday, September 2, at 7 p.m.; (2) Friday, September 9, at 7 p.m.; (3) Sunday, September 11, at 10 p.m.; (4) Tuesday, September 13, at 10 a.m.
Its a shame the greens did not run a candidate.
Cool. At least the third party candidate was allowed on the debate. (Too bad the Libertarians didn’t try to run a candidate, though.) Will this be posted on YouTube as well?
The poor Greens in New York. They regained ballot status last year and promptly lost 5,000, about 20%, of their party registrants, according to Board of Elections numbers.
