RIO GRANDE — Coastal Broadcasting’s news department will host Democrat State Senator Jeff Van Drew and Republican challenger David DeWeese in a live in-studio debate. The debate will take place on Sunday Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. during “In Depth with Denis Brown on 106.7 FM.
The debate will feature questions from Coastal Broadcasting’s News Director, Brown, who will serve as the moderator. Questions will be accepted ahead of time via e-mail at denis@coastalbroadcasting.com.
“Political debates represent one of the best American traditions,” said Van Drew. “Assemblyman Albano, Milam, and I look forward to a spirited discussion regarding the issues that most impact our state and region.”
“I can’t wait to go on In Depth and debate Jeff Van Drew,” said DeWeese. “I called for more debates and open debates so the voters would have as much information about the candidates as possible. Although Van Drew at first disagreed with me, I am happy that he has now agreed to more debates. We are focused on the issues, like taxes and spending, and that is what this debate will be all about.”
Along with this debate, Coastal Broadcasting will also air the League of Women Voters debate live on 98.7 The Coast. That debate will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 26, starting at 7:30 p.m.
