The debate between Virginia gubernatorial candidates Spanberger and Earle-Sears is set to take place at Norfolk State University starting at 7 p.m.
Both Spanberger and Earle-Sears have previously turned down earlier debates, with Spanberger rejecting CNN’s invitation for a debate in the fall, according to Fox News, and Earle-Sears turning down the “People’s Debate,” which would have been held at Virginia State University, according to Virginia Mercury.
Spanberger accepted the invitation for the Oct. 9 WAVY-NSU debate on Monday, Aug. 18. A release from Spanberger’s team states she is “prepared and ready” to debate the issues she believes impact Virginians the most.
“Virginians have a clear choice in November. Abigail Spanberger is the only candidate with a gameplan for lowering costs for Virginia families, strengthening Virginia’s public schools, and standing up for Virginia’s economy in this moment of chaos and uncertainty,” said Samson Signori, Campaign Manager, Spanberger for Governor. “Abigail is prepared and ready to debate the issues at Norfolk State University, outline her vision for putting Virginians first, and make clear that her opponent is far too extreme for the Commonwealth.”
Earle-Sears verbally accepted the debate on Aug. 14, prior to Spanberger, but had yet to fill out the proper forms necessary to participate. She official signed on to the debate Tuesday, Aug. 19 and provided a statement to WAVY.
“I’m ready to take the stage in Norfolk and offer Virginians a clear choice for Governor. For years, Spanberger has hidden behind vague Washington rhetoric and dodged tough questions. Now, her record will be front and center. I’m prepared to deliver for Virginia, building on the proven results of my administration — the real question is: how will Abigail Spanberger defend her disastrous record to Virginians?”
Lt Governor Winsome Earle-Sears
