Interesting. League of Women Voters wants Greens Included in NYS GOV Debate.
From the Ravitch Blog.
Good news for folks who can't find much to choose from on the major party menu this year:
>>> received the following response from Laura Ladd Bierman of the League of Women Voters of NYS:
The League of Women Voters of NYS, with its partners from WABC/TV, Univision and The Daily News, has been negotiating with the gubernatorial candidates to organize a televised debate in NYC. Based on the state League’s policies, the debates would have to include at least Cuomo, Astorino and Hawkins for the state League to be a co-sponsor. While two other debates have been offered to the candidates by other sponsors, our offer still stands.
I was misinformed, and I apologize to the League of Women Voters for my error. Thanks to the LWV for offering to sponsor the debate. Governor Cuomo refused to debate Zephyr Teachout, his primary challenger. I hope he accepts this offer to debate Astorino and Hawkins.
