Tom ReedMartha RobertsonVoters will get to see Congressman Tom Reed and challenger Martha Robertson debate before the November 23rd Congressional District election.  Reed's campaign announced Tuesday it had agreed to three debates, including one televised debate.  While Robertson's campaign has reportedly asked for more debates, the Reed campaign says three debates will allow voters to compare the candidates' contrasting visions.

The first debate will be televised live by WETM-TV beginning at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 from Elmira, at Mandeville Hall at the Clemens Center.  A joint editorial board interview will be held Oct. 22 at the Jamestown Post-Journal.  The meeting will not be public or televised, but the newspaper says it will be recorded.  The third will be held Oct. 29 in the Olean High School auditorium, presented by the Olean Times Herald.
