Once again, the candidates for governor are sparring over when and where to debate.
Democrat Dan Malloy issued a press release today announcing that he's agreed to participate in eight debates through the course of the campaign, using a strategy he deployed successfully against his primary opponent, Ned Lamont.
"Since I began a run for governor more than six months ago, my goal has been very clear: to talk to as many Connecticut residents as possible about my values, my experience, and my ideas for getting Connecticut back on track," Malloy said in a press release. "I welcome an open and honest discussion of the issues facing Connecticut, issues like job creation, expanding access to health care, and improving our public education system. Connecticut voters deserve to know who they are putting their trust in to run the state in the years ahead."
Malloy urged Republican opponent, Tom Foley, to accept the debate invitations, but the Foley camp accused Malloy of playing games.
