Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell is calling for 10 debates with his rival, Democratic nominee Sen. R. Creigh Deeds.
McDonnell proposed a schedule of debates across the state, beginning with the July 25 Virginia Bar Association event taking place in Bath County—Deeds’ hometown. The final debate would be held at the University of Virginia’s Rotunda on Oct. 20.
No comment yet from the Deeds camp.
“Virginians are tired of sound bite campaigns. They want to know where the candidates stand on the issues of today. And they want to hear this directly from the candidates,“ McDonnell said in a release.
“This series of 10 gubernatorial debates statewide from July through October will reinvigorate political discourse in Virginia, and ensure that this race is marked by a serious discussion of the major issues facing the Commonwealth.“
