The Westport Library and the League of Women Voters of Connecticut and local Leagues of Women Voters from towns throughout the 4th Congressional District, announced today that a debate will be held between the candidates.
The debate between incumbent Congressman Jim Himes(D) and Jonathan Riddle(R) will be moderated by Kay Maxwell.
Please register for the debate being live-streamed from the Trefz Forum at the Westport Library.
Constituents will be able to submit written questions after registering and up to the day of debate. Consistent with League guidelines, constituent questions will be screened by the League (one screener from each major party) for clarity, non-duplication, and applicability to both candidates.
Questions may be submitted to [email protected].
