Alois: Killion Doesn't Respond to Debate Request

At the request of Beth Alois, the Democratic Candidate for State Representative in the 168th District, the League of Women Voters contacted the campaign office of her opponent, Tom Killion, to organize a debate.

The first response was a definite "no." In the second conversation a representative said Killion was very busy but they would look at his schedule and someone would get back to the League. The LWV’s suggestion of Cheyney University as a good venue (it is located in both Delaware and Chester counties) was rejected by Killion’s representative at that time.

Two weeks after the contact was made with the Killion campaign, the LWV told Alois that the Killion campaign had not gotten back to them and it was now too late to organize a debate.

"In the 10 months I have been talking to voters, and especially since I received the Delaware County Daily Times endorsement, many voters have asked me when the debate would be. I want them to know that I was ready and tried to make it happen," Alois said.

Alois thanked the League of Women Voters, an outstanding volunteer organization, for their time and effort in trying to organize the debate.

Beth Alois is the pro-public education, pro-women’s rights, and pro-small business candidate in the 168th. The District includes parts of Delaware County (Media, Middletown, Edgmont, Thornbury, Rose Valley, and parts of Upper Providence, Nether Providence, and Newtown) and Westtown Township in Chester County.
