CHARLESTON (AP) — The U.S. Senate campaigns of Democrat Gov. Joe Manchin and Republican John Raese both support holding at least one debate that would include all the candidates.
Manchin’s campaign director, Sara Payne Scarbro, told the Charleston Daily Mail that the debate should be televised statewide.
Scarbro says the campaign’s offer includes Raese, Mountain Party candidate Jesse Johnson and Constitution Party candidate Jeff Becker.
Raese campaign manager Jim Dornan says the Republican will debate Manchin “anytime, anyplace, anywhere.”
Johnson says he supports a debate, as long as all the candidates are included.
The West Virginia Broadcasters Association barred Johnson from participating in its gubernatorial debates in 2004 and 2008.
