Hulshof agrees to televised debate this summer in Springfield
U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, R-Columbia and a candidate for governor, announced this afternoon that he “has accepted an invitation to debate Sarah Steelman in Springfield this summer.
“A coalition of KYTV, the Springfield News-Leader, Ozarks Public Television and KSMU radio have extended the invitation for a prime time debate in early July,” the release said.
Hulshof said in a statement, ‘Open debates are a fundamental tool in our political system. They provide one of the best ways for voters to gain an understanding of each candidate’s values and priorities. I look forward to debating the issues that matter most to Missourians.’
In the statement, Hulshof also called for “multiple debates in the coming months. ‘It’s important that Missourians across the state have plenty of opportunities to hear from each candidate. The unfiltered give-and-take in a debate will go a long way in helping Missourians cast informed ballots in August.’ ”
