To Debate or not to Debate- for Mayor ?

ARE ALL CANDIDATES INTERESTED in EAST HAVEN in a Debate ?

So we are going into October towards an new election for Mayor and with all new candidates running for Mayor, Joe Carfora (D), Steve Tracey(R) and Oni Sioson(I) and no set date for a Mayoral Debate-

and why is that- Joe Carfora and Oni Sioson are very much interested on talking and discussing their future ideas and what they envision going into 2020 for East Haven but once again just as in the Republican Primary, there is dead silence with Big Steve Tracey ? and why is that, one wonders, is there not a perfect date that fits to their liking, lighting and sound system in the senior center aren't perfect, the month of October the moon and stars don't enlign -what?

What could it be Steve, come on--you are running for Mayor- get used to speaking in Public in front of people- you need to talk. Don't know who is giving you this advise not to debate but you are doing yourself a deserve and quite frankly to the people of East Haven- they deserve to know who you are- Yes you have been walking neighborhoods, yes you have signs up and yes you have gained monetary support through your fundraisers but that's not what the ALL PEOPLE WANT from you Steve- this isn't the Town Council where you just sit and listen, you are running for Mayor, strategy from your committee shouldn't be to hide you but to promote you!

You have a thriving business, you are a nice guy, you help people and have done well for yourself without much formal education and that's ok- Now as a candidate for Mayor you need to now get out in a Public Forum and tell us about who you are, what you see for East Haven and how you plan to do so as the potential new Mayor of East Haven.

thank you,
