Sam Caligiuri, a Republican hoping to unseat Democrat Chris Murphy in the 5th District, said he’s ready to debate the health care overhaul, which Murphy supported and Caligiuri did not.
“Fifth District voters have serious concerns about this bill that should be addressed directly, not characterized as ‘lies and propaganda,”’ Caligiuri said in a statement. “I invite Chris Murphy to a debate so that voters in our district can hear from both sides and decide if the concerns expressed over provisions in this bill are justified. For Murphy to be dismissive of his constituents’ concerns is shameful. He should come home and engage in an open debate about how this legislation will impact citizens of the Fifth District.”
Caligiuri issued the challenge to Murphy this morning on Brad Davis’ radio show; David agreed to host.
Yesterday, shortly after the health care bill passed the House, Murphy issued a statement saying that now all the “lies and propaganda” surrounding the bill will be proven false.
