YNN will air a live debate for the 24th Congressional District race on Monday the 29th at 7 p.m., sponsored by the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University. Republican Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle and Green Party candidate Ursula Rozum will be there. Democrat Dan Maffei has declined our invitation so far, citing concerns about the format. But a podium will be set up and available for Maffei, should he change his mind.

The debate will be held at the Time Warner Cable studio in East Syracuse. Limited in-studio seating is available. If you’re interested in being part of our audience, email Campbell@maxwell.syr.edu by 5 p.m. next Wednesday. Please indicate if you’re coming by yourself or with a guest. Those selected by lottery will be notified by Friday, October 26.
