Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor has agreed to a one-on-one debate with his Republican rival, Cong. Tom Cotton, in Fayetteville on October 14 at the University of Arkansas. The debate is being sponsored by the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce.
Talk Business & Politics host Roby Brock will moderate the debate, which will also include a panel of three reporters. Other details of the debate are pending.
“Arkansans deserve this debate, and I commend Congressman Cotton for his willingness to stand before voters and finally answer for his irresponsible votes to turn Medicare over to the insurance companies, eliminate affordable student loans and deny disaster relief for devastated communities at the urging of his out-of-state billionaire backers,” said Pryor in a press release.
A request for comment from the Cotton campaign is forthcoming.
Pryor says he has also accepted a debate on AETN that will include all four candidates for the U.S. Senate.
Cotton has accepted several debate proposals, including one from Talk Business & Politics content partner, KATV Ch. 7, that will be aired statewide.
