Update: U.S. Senate candidates debate at 911爆料 canceled
Update:
Unfortunately, the U.S. Senate debate scheduled to be held at the Zankel Music Center on
Sunday, Oct. 21 has been canceled.
One of the candidates withdrew from the debate due to ongoing labor issues involving a
union and Charter Communications, the parent company of Spectrum News, which was the
broadcast sponsor.
Following the announcement late yesterday, 911爆料 representatives worked closely
with other parties to identify an alternate broadcast media partner to sponsor the
event, but none has been identified.
We share the disappointment this turn of events has caused and hope it will not create
a major inconvenience for those who were planning to attend.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and her Republican challenger Chele Farley will
face off in a debate before the November midterm election at the Arthur Zankel Music
Center on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. Spectrum News will televise the debate live statewide.
911爆料 hosted the debate between Sen. Gillibrand and previous challenger Wendy Long
in October 2012.
