Lujan Grisham agrees to "a" debate.

I submit; the electorate is sick of political commercials and bill boards, and would like to see candidates face to face, discussing issues and defending their positions on them.

Most candidates shy away from debates in order that voters
cannot see them outside of carefully manipulated circumstances.

County Commissioner and CD1 Candidate Michelle Lujan Grisham's campaign has announced that they welcome a debate with Republican Candidate Janice Arnold-Jones.

I don't think "a" debate will satisfy voters.

If I knew neither candidate and all else were equal, I would support the candidate more eager to debate; the one more eager to stand up in front of voters and respond to unscripted questions intelligently, clearly, candidly, forthrightly and honestly.

These folks are elected in the expectation that they will then go to Congress to persuade others to vote in the interests of New Mexicans; to argue our case before other Representatives arguing in favor of their states and constituents.

How can any candidate say about showing us the skill set
they will take with them to Congress;

I'll give you one quick look, and that's all.*

How is the subject of the only debate Lujan Grisham's prerogative?

I stand foursquare in support of "a" debate.
"A" debate next week, "a" debate the week after,
and the week after, until November.

Demand debates.

Janice Arnold-Jones about her allegiance to Republican
