CA-11: Wiener (D) Challenges Chan (D) To 15 Public Debates Across City In Race For Congress Seat

State Sen. Scott Wiener challenged San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan on Wednesday to a series of 15 debates ahead of the November general election for California's 11th Congressional District.

With Wiener and Chan running to replace House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi in Congress, Wiener, D-San Francisco, proposed having a debate in each of the 10 city districts and five standalone debates on a single policy area, a press release from his campaign said.

"San Franciscans deserve a real, sustained conversation about who can best represent our city in Washington," Wiener said in a release. "I'm calling on Supervisor Chan to join us not just for one debate, but for a full series, both citywide and issue by issue, so voters in every part of San Francisco have a chance to hear from us."

In the release, Wiener said these debates would center on the most important issues facing San Francisco and the country, while allowing voters to directly hear from both candidates. The five proposed standalone debates would center on foreign policy, housing and affordability, healthcare, domestic policy and technology and environment.
