Eastern to Host Congressional Debates

THIS EVENT HAS PASSED PLEASE CONTINUE TO LOOK TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR UP TO DATE EVENTS, WORKSHOPS & BUSINESS CLASSES

Eastern Connecticut State University will host a debate between the candidates for Connecticut’s Second Congressional District this Thursday, Oct. 21, from 7:30 to 9  p.m. in the Betty R. Tipton Room of the Student Center.  The debate is being sponsored by the Norwich Bulletin.  The public is invited. Admission is free.

All of the candidates currently on the ballot — Democratic candidate and incumbent Congressman Joe Courtney; former television reporter Janet Pekinpaugh, the Republican Party candidate; and Green Party candidate G. Scott Deshefy, a former Montville school board chair and retired environmental analyst, will participate in the debate.

The debate is expected to focus on educational issues that concern students.  Eastern student Judith Frankel, a junior from Brookfield majoring in political science, will be one of two panelists asking questions. “I am honored to be chosen to be a student moderator,” said Frankel.  “This event will give Eastern students a firsthand look at the excitement of politics.  Students will get a chance to meet the politicians who are running, which will help them to make a more educated decision when they vote on November 2.”

The Connecticut Network will tape and rebroadcast the debate.

For more information about the Congressional debates, contact Raymond Hackett, community conversations editor at the Norwich Bulletin, at (860) 425-425 or email him at rhackett@norwichbulletin.com.
