WSKG reports that just about a month before voting begins, the candidates for the new 19th Congressional District still have not agreed to debate. Democrat Josh Riley agreed to a debate with WSKG, a public television and radio station working with the League of Women Voters of Broome and Tioga Counties, but Republican Marc Molinaro did not. “I understood from yesterday that he had declined the WSKG debate which I had accepted. So, we’ll have to see what other invitations we have,” Riley said on Sept. 25. Molinaro says he has agreed to a debate hosted by Spectrum News and two candidate forums, not debates, one with the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce, and another with the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce. “I’m guessing it’s just scheduling issues, but three debates seems like a reasonable number to have across a district this size,” Molinaro said Sept. 23, even though he has agreed to only one debate, and two candidate forums. Voting begins Oct. 29 and ends Nov. 8. Read more about this story at the WSKG website.
