Camille Andrews Refuses to Debate the Issues

Dale Glading challenges Camille Andrews to six debates,
Andrews refuses to respond by deadline

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, challenged placeholder candidate Camille Andrews to a series of six debates on June 5. Despite receiving Glading’s letter by certified mail well in advance of the June 13 deadline, Camille Andrews refused to respond to the challenge.

“It is disappointing to the citizens of our district that Camille Andrews has chosen not to follow in her husband’s footsteps in desiring to publicly debate the issues affecting the people of New Jersey,” Glading said. “Camille Andrews is hiding from the voters of the 1st District, choosing to spend her time instead in the smoke-filled back rooms of the party machine.”

“I will not allow Camille Andrews to again deny the people of the 1st District the opportunity to participate in this election,” Glading added. “I intend to hold the six town hall debates I challenged Camille Andrews to participate in, regardless of her attendance.”

Glading stated in his June 5 letter the desire to hold six debates, with three in Camden County, two in Gloucester County, and one in Burlington County. He also expressed a desire to hold the first debate in June.

The Glading campaign is currently open to invitations from all venues for the town hall debates, and interested parties should contact the campaign via telephone or e-mail.

“Camille Andrews and Frank Lautenberg have something in common: they are scared to debate the issues before the people,” added Tim Saler, Glading’s campaign manager. “Leaders like John McCain, Dick Zimmer, and Dale Glading have repeatedly asked their opponents to participate in town hall meetings to discuss the issues affecting the American people.”

“Their opponents have consistently refused to participate, and it is an insult to the voters that people like Camille Andrews and Frank Lautenberg think they can represent us without ever hearing our concerns,” Saler concluded. “Enough is enough. It’s time we send real leaders who care about our concerns, like Dale Glading and Dick Zimmer, to Washington instead.”
