Blog: Now We Know Why Joe K III is Running from Debates

Experience and maturity matters in a congressman

Sean Bielat and Joseph Kennedy III had their first debate last week in a taped performance on WCVB.  Watch the entire debate here (it's in two parts). You will see clearly why the Kennedy campaign is not allowing their candidate to debate more than three times. Sean Bielat has agreed to 16 debates.  

Now even the Boston Globe is questioning why Joe is avoiding public scrutiny. Even the Globe's Joan Vennochi, normally a strong liberal voice on the paper's opinion page, argues that the voters deserve a full vetting of the candidates:

"This debate about debates isn’t about a candidacy that’s a joke. It’s about respect for voters, process, and democracy."

Please watch the debates and ask yourself who you think would be a stronger and more effective voice in Congress for your family and for the voters of our congressional district?
