Tonight, the candidates for New York's 19th Congressional District, Julian Schreibman (Democrat) and Chris Gibson (Republican incumbent), will hold their second debate at 8pm at WMHT-TV in Troy. The station will be broadcasting the debate live on television, as will WSKG-TV in Binghamton.
The first debate between Gibson and Schreibman, held last week at the M. Clifford Miller Middle School in Kingston, was videotaped and livestreamed by the Freeman. (Click the link for a video replay of the debate, as well as the Freeman's news account.)
A third debate will be held at 7pm on Wednesday, October 24 at SUNY Oneonta.
The newly-redrawn 19th Congressional District includes all of Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Sullivan, Schoharie, Otsego and Ulster counties, most of Dutchess and Rensselaer counties, and parts of Broome and Montgomery counties.
