Incumbent Gary Winfield will appear with challenger Jason Bartlett Wednesday evening in a campaign debate for the 10th State Senate District seat
The hour-long debate, sponsored by the New Haven Independent, WNHH FM, and La Voz Hispana, is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. It will take place over Zoom, and can be watched live on the Independent Facebook page.
Winfield, a Democrat, has represented the district, which covers portions of New Haven and West Haven, since 2014. Bartlett petitioned his way onto the Nov. 3 ballot as an independent.
In the debate, they will respond to questions posed by a panel made up of representatives from the Independent, the Inner City, the New Haven Register, and La Voz.
A Republican, Carlos Alvarado, is also on the ballot. He declined numerous invitations to participate in the debate, including an offer to propose a date and time that is convenient for him. He said through his campaign manager that he is too busy.
