McClintock, Moore to debate
By Jon Ortiz, Sacramento Bee
The on-again, off-again debate between 4th Congressional District incumbent Tom McClintock and challenger Art Moore is back on.
A day after McClintock backed away from a one-hour debate that would have been hosted by the League of Women Voters next week, the Elk Grove Republican’s camp issued a press release that he had accepted an debate invitation from the Auburn Chamber of Commerce’s “Meddlers” forum at 7am on Tuesday.
Moore will be there, his campaign strategist Rob Stutzman said, although he thinks McClintock was more an organizer than an invitee to the debate.
As proof, Stutzman forwarded a Friday morning email from McClintock campaign manager Jon Huey to Auburn Chamber board member Steve Galyardt thanking him for “taking my call and trying to help us set up the debate.”
