Organizations Across the State Request Debates
Roberts declines, citing busy schedule
Jim Slattery, candidate for the U.S. Senate, will face incumbent senator, Pat Roberts, in a debate Saturday at the Kansas State Fair.
Date: Saturday, September 6th
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Location: AT&T Arena
Kansas State Fair Grounds
2000 N. Poplar St.
Hutchinson, KS
For most Kansans, this will be their only opportunity to see Slattery and Roberts debate. Roberts has agreed to participate in just three debates, the State Fair Debate being the only debate that is televised and open to the public.
Slattery has challenged Roberts to engage in four additional debates, one in each congressional district, to cover the major issues of the campaign.
"Candidates for high public office, like the U.S. Senate, have a duty to debate the issues of the day," Slattery said.
