9-12 Project to Back Second Gubernatorial Debate

A second appearance at Windham High School from GOP candidates Kevin Smith and Ovide Lamontagne is set to take place on Aug. 30.

The event will be sponsored by the Southern N.H. 9-12 Project, which is co-coordinated by Windham resident Ken Eyring.

This will come before a Sept. 9 debate between the two candidates scheduled for 10 a.m. That event will also take place in the WHS auditorium and is being sponsored by Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire.

Eyring issued a release today indicating that the format will start with a debate, following by a question and answer session where the audience will be able to address the candidates.

"This will be one of the last opportunities that voters will have to see, hear and interact with the candidates in a personalized setting before entering the voting booth on September 11th," Eyring said in a statement.

Children are also welcome and encouraged to attend the debate, which will take place at 7 p.m.

Democratic candidates Cilley and Hassan were invited to participate in a separate debate on the same evening, but did not accept their invitations.
