Democratic challenger Adam Cook made news a few weeks ago with a press release in which he pointed out that Rob Wittman, the incumbent GOP Congressman for VA-01, had backed out of an earlier commitment to at least one debate.
Adam’s press release got a good bit of play in the newspapers throughout the district and now Wittman has agreed to one debate.
Adam Cook – Rob Wittman debate; Tuesday, 9 October, 7:30 PM; David Student Center Ballroom, Christopher Newport University, Newport News.
