Syracuse - The final televised debate between the three 25th Congressional District candidates will be broadcast live on WSYR-TV (Channel 9) at 7 p.m. Thursday Oct. 30.
The 60-minute debate between Democrat Dan Maffei, Republican Dale Sweetland and Green Populist Howie Hawkins will be held at the Jewish Community Center, 5655 Thompson Road. The public can reserve a seat by contacting Judith Stander at 445-0161, ext. 114. The organizers are requesting spectators be seated by 6:30 p.m.
Reporter Mike McAndrew will have a story in The Post-Standard on Thursday about some of the best one-liners delivered by the three candidates during their prior debates and forums.
