In a primary night press release, Attorney General and democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Dick Blumenthal says he's ready to debate his Republican opponent.
"I look forward to talking about how I will stand up for the people of Connecticut and fight for them against the special interests in Washington, just as I have here in Connecticut," Blumenthal said.
The Democrat pledged to participate in the Hartford Courant/Fox61 debate scheduled for October 4th at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford; The Day/WTNH/WCTX debate scheduled for October 12th at the Garde Arts Center in New London; and the Business Council of Fairfield County debate scheduled for October in Norwalk at a location and date to be announced.
"We welcome our opponent to join us at these debates,'' said Mindy Myers, Blumenthal's campaign manager.
Linda McMahon says she's ready. McMahon, one of three Republicans competing in today's primary, has resisted debating GOP opponents Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff in recent weeks. But she told Rick Green this afternoon that she's looking forward to debating Blumenthal.
