Phoenix, AZ – On Wednesday, the Lake Campaign contacted the Citizens Clean Elections Commission and agreed to them extending an invitation to every candidate on the ballot, which would include Arizona’s Green Party candidate, Eduardo Quintana. However, Clean Elections said that Gallego would first have to agree to including Quintana in the debate as well.
Notably, Quintana has made several pleas for both campaigns to “stand up for the right of voters to hear from all candidates running” and advocate for his inclusion in the debate.
Kari Lake Released the Following Statement:
“The Green Party’s nominee for U.S. Senate Eduardo Quintana will be on the ballot in November, and I believe we need to ensure that every candidate and every voter is heard and respected.
I urge Ruben to accept the proposal for Eduardo to be included in our debate. You cannot claim to be a “defender of democracy” when you refuse access to third-party candidates.”
