The October 13 debate for Connecticut’s 26th State Senate District has been canceled. The Republican candidate’s campaign informed the League that she will not participate. League rules require at least two eligible candidates to proceed.

We partnered with the League of Women Voters of Westport and Earthplace because voters deserve to hear directly from those seeking to represent them. As the Debate Committee put it: “Our democracy depends on the participation of organizations and candidates who believe voters deserve to be informed about matters affecting our towns, districts, and state. When opportunities for voters to hear directly from candidates are lost, everyone loses.”

Your voice still matters. Get to know the candidates — and make a plan to vote.  

Early voting in Westport begins Monday, October 19. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
