The Maine Public Broadcasting Network held and broadcast the first of its four key political debates Thursday, October 9, 2014 continuing its journalistic tradition of providing the state with in-depth coverage of statewide political issues.
The 1st Congressional District Debate was held at 8 p.m. in MPBN’s Lewiston Studio and was aired live on MPBN Television, Radio, and online at news.mpbn.net.
MPBN News Director Keith Shortall states: "Full debate coverage is what our viewers, listeners, and supporters expect of MPBN. This year is no different. We are holding the debates as scheduled and urge all those candidates who have qualified for a place on the November 4th Maine ballot to participate. MPBN strongly believes in providing these forums as a public service to our audience, and to the people of Maine.”
