Jones Challenges Thompson’s Two-Debate Offer as Inadequate for Voters
Democratic congressional candidate Eric Jones has advocated for an expanded series of debates with incumbent U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, asserting that the two public events currently scheduled are inadequate for voters in California’s newly redrawn 4th Congressional District. Jones’s statement follows Thompson’s agreement to participate in a televised debate and a candidate forum, which Jones deemed insufficient to address the district’s diverse electorate.
