or Anne Peterson at 208-373-7368Idaho’s Second Congressional District Candidates to Debate on Idaho Public Television
Idaho Public Television, in conjunction with the League of Women Voters and the Idaho Press Club, continues its three-decade-long tradition of broadcasting political debates. Other supporting partners of THE IDAHO DEBATES 2008 are The Associated Press, Boise State Radio, Idaho Allied Dailies, Idaho State Broadcasters Association, The Idaho Statesman and KIVI-TV.
Thahn Tan will be the IdahoPTV moderator for the Sunday, October 12, debate between Rep. Mike Simpson and challenger Deborah Holmes, candidates for the Second Congressional District.
During the live, televised debate, the candidates face questions from a panel of reporters representing the Idaho Press Club. Some questions may also be gathered in advance from interviews conducted with members of the public around the state. The debate is an hour long.
Because North Idaho voters will not be voting in the Second Congressional District election, the debate will be tape-delayed in the Pacific time zone.
