Meehan Proposes Vigorous Series of Ten Debates with Opponent

By MEEHAN FOR CONGRESS

DREXEL HILL, PA – Former U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan followed up on his call Wednesday for a “vigorous series of debates” with his opponent, challenging state legislator Bryan Lentz to accept a series of ten debates and forums he is working to schedule.

“Voters deserve to hear more about Bryan Lentz’ record in the legislature of voting to increase government spending and raise taxes,” said Meehan. “State legislator Lentz has been part of the problem in Harrisburg and he will be part of the problem in Washington. Through open debates, it will become evident that Lentz will be just another rubber stamp for big government spending and Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda in Washington.”

Meehan released a list of 10 organizations and news outlets that his campaign is in the process of reaching out to in order to set up debates. Meehan hopes to kick off the first debate in June with the debates spread throughout different areas of Delaware, Chester, and Montgomery Counties. The list also includes three electronic media debates to provide voters who are unable to attend in person the opportunity to listen or watch the debates.

Organizations Meehan is in the process of reaching out to are:

Pennsylvanians for Effective Government (PEG) and the Southeastern Political Action Committee of Chambers of Commerce (SEPAC)
Medical Societies of Delaware, Chester, and Montgomery Counties
League of Women Voters (Riddle Village)
Ukrainian Federation of America
Main Line Reform Temple
Senior Retirement Community
Delaware County Patriots
Larry Kane, “Voice of Reason” on the Comcast Network
Dom Giordano – 1210 AM, The Big Talker
Steve Highsmith – Live @ Issue

“In the past, Bryan Lentz has claimed he would debate me anytime and anywhere and I am happy to hold him to that commitment,” said Meehan.
