TWO DEBATE DATES SET FOR PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATE DISTRICT 22
 
OLD FORGE PENNSYLVANIA.  Two October dates are set for debates between Democrat candidate John Blake and Republican candidate Frank Scavo. Both are  in contention for the  State Senate seat of  Robert Mellow, District 22.  

 The first debate, sponsored by the League of Women voters of Lackawanna County,  will be held on Tuesday, October 12Th at 7:00 pm in the Pearn Auditorium (2ND floor) in the University of Scranton’s Brennan Hall on Madison avenue. This will be a taped interview and air on ECTV.

The second debate, sponsored by WVIA, TV 44,   is Tuesday, October 26Th at 7:00 PM.  The debate will be held at the WVIA TV 44 studios and air live the same night.  Seating is available for this live debate and can be reserved by calling the candidates or WV IA prior to the debate date.

“I applaud the League of Women Voters of Lackawanna county and WVIA TV for offering their forums for this critical election.  I also believe the two debates will show the sharp distinction between the Harrisburg insider mindset versus that of the non governmental, private sector conservative approach to government.  With recent defeats of the establishment candidates, the outlook for change here in Northeast Pennsylvania is at a peak, and the best it has ever been” stated candidate Scavo.
