Prendergast challenges Castor to debate

Castor faces Republican Mike Prendergast in November.  On Tuesday, Prendergast wrote to Castor, requesting that they debate the issues before the election.

Dear Kathy:

The people of the 11th district have overwhelmingly expressed their desire to better

understand our positions on topics of the utmost importance to them.  It is our duty

and obligation as representatives of our community to allow them that opportunity.

Therefore, I ask that you commit to four public debates so that we can meet with the

constituents of our district and answer their questions.

Please ask your staff to contact my office as soon as possible so that we can arrange

our schedules and inform our constituents of our desires to hear their voices.   My

telephone number is: 813-xxx-xxxxx.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours in service,

Mike Prendergast

CL contacted Castor's campaign office for a reply.  We've not yet heard back yet.  Nor, do we suspect, has Prendergast.

Castor did participate in a forum shortly before the August 24 primary against all four Republicans in their primary, as well as the lone Democrat in her race, Tim Curtis.
