Eastern Shore congressional candidates to meet for televised debate

Three candidates vying to represent the Eastern Shore in Congress will meet for a televised debate in late October. Cecil Public Media announced the event featuring Rep. Andy Harris (R), former Del. Heather Mizeur (D) and Libertarian Daniel Thibeault late on Friday evening. The candidates were each confirmed for the forum after Harris earlier backed out of the proposed event, citing a concern that Thibeault wasn’t included. Maryland Matters wrote about the cancellation earlier this week, which Mizeur cast as part of a trend by Harris to avoid other high-profile events as well, including a televised debate proposed by the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Salisbury Committee.
