The League of Women Voters has invited all four ballot-listed candidates for California State Senate, district 15, to a debate. This is a special election, to be held August 17. The debate invitation has already been accepted by Democratic nominee Jim Fitzgerald, Libertarian nominee Mark Hinkle, and independent candidate Jim Fitzgerald. The Republican nominee, Sam Blakeslee, has not yet accepted. The League says the debate will go on even if Blakeslee does not accept.
The debate is July 26, at the Cuesta College Student Center in San Luis Obispo, at 7 p.m. It will be broadcast on Channel 19 (on replay) and perhaps also on KSBY-TV. Thanks to the California Majority Report for this news.
Nice to have a four-candidate debate in the general election. Enjoy it while you’ve still got it, before you’re restricted to two choices on the ballot in 2012.
