Ellen Arthur wants debate in the 24th House District

Ellen Arthur, the Democratic Party nominee for the House of Delegates seat in the 24th District, announced that she is ready and willing to schedule a date to debate her opponent, Republican Del. Ben Cline.

While these are not formally scheduled as debates, she will be appearing at the following events:

• A Meet and Greet hosted by the Amherst County Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, September 22 at Amherst County High School at 6:30 pm.
• A Legislative Dinner hosted by the Augusta Nurses’ Association at Augusta Health on Wednesday, October 7 at 6:00 pm.

“I look forward to a debate that is scheduled as such, and sponsored by a politically neutral host. We are actively seeking invitations in the 24th District for a true debate with my opponent,” said Arthur, a retired attorney who has practiced in Lexington for 37 years.
