Information Regarding Cohen – Crisci Debate Scheduling

Dear voters,  

As many of you know, Paul Crisci’s state senate campaign was slated to have a town hall event, “Pizza with Paul,” on Monday, September 23, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.  Shortly after advertising this event, we were contacted by the Women’s League of Voters regarding a scheduled debate with opponent Senator Christine Cohen.  The Women’s League of Voters had a target date of Tuesday, October 22nd, for our debate, stating that the Guilford Community Center was limited on dates available due to prior reservations. Due to concerns that the debate would occur after early voting begins on October 21st, the Paul Crisci campaign offered to forgo our event at the Guilford Community Center on September 23rd. This would allow the debate between Paul Crisci and Senator Cohen to take place earlier, giving voters more time to reflect, research, and make an informed decision for the District 12 state senate race.  Unfortunately, after some deliberation and conferring with Senator Cohen’s campaign, the Women’s League of Voters informed us that the date change would not be an option.  Although we are disappointed, we respect the decision of the Women’s League of Voters and the Cohen Campaign and accept the later debate date of October 22nd.  Unfortunately, due to the delayed response to these events, the “Pizza with Paul” event has been rescheduled for October 2nd at the Stony Creek Brewery from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Radio host Vinnie Penn will be hosting the event, and Senator Cohen will receive a formal invitation to join us for discussions about our towns, district, and state.  We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing all of you, as well as Senator Cohen, on Wednesday, October 2nd, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
