Statement From Steve Poizner On Tomorrow’s Debate at Brandman University
Printer Friendly“There is no doubt that we need to grow the Republican Party and engaging new and young voters through social media outlets like Twitter is an excellent start. I’m honored to join Tom Campbell tomorrow night for what may be the first ever candidate ‘Twitter Debate,’ where we will respond to questions submitted via Twitter as well as questions from Dan Walters and other panelists. I want to encourage all California voters to watch the debate live on television or online and share your thoughts throughout the night on Twitter. We need to make California the innovation capital of the world again, and Brandman University’s unique debate is a step in the right direction with an innovative way to connect voters with California’s gubernatorial candidates.”
Brandman University will host a debate between two of the Republican gubernatorial candidates on Wednesday, October 28th at 7:00 pm. The debate will be moderated by journalists Dan Walters of the Sacramento Bee, Ed Arnold of Orange County’s KOCE and Professor Mike Moodian of Brandman University. The invitation to participate in the debate went out via Twitter back in August. A portion of the questions that will be posed to both candidates have been submitted through Twitter using the hashtag #cadebate. The debate topic is “Solutions to the California Financial Crisis.” This debate is believed to be the first political debate organized via the social networking platform.
