THE 19th and 20th DISTRICT DEBATES




It's debate week. West Harford Community television together with the League of Women Voters of Greater Hartford taped two debates last night.

Candidates in the 19th and 20th Assembly Districts squared off in a cumulative time format debate. After a brief introduction, each had nine minutes to answer, discuss and rebut questions generated by league members, followed by a two minute closing statement.

The 19th district candidates Beth Bye(D) and Theresa McGrath(R) fielded questions from Danna Dyer. Lynne Coroser-Smith moderated the 20th district debate between David McCluskey(D), Chad Thompson(R), and John Mertens(CFL).

Debates for the 18th Assembly District and 5th Senate District will be taped on Thursday, September 25th.

All the debates will telecast beginning the third week of October and will run until election day on November 4th.
