Alexandria, VA - Democratic Lieutenant Governor candidate Jon Bowerbank today challenged his primary opponents to a series of debates across Virginia, calling on his opponents to concentrate on issues that affect Virginians every day.  Bowerbank's proposal requests debates in Southwest Virginia, Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia.

"I spent last week, and the last 16 months, traveling around the Commonwealth talking about how to create jobs for Virginians and get our economy back on track.  As Virginians are losing their jobs, unable to make their mortgage payments, unable to afford college tuition, and facing so many other challenges, I am focusing on these issues and I hope my opponents will join me in three debates to discuss the formidable challenges facing our Commonwealth.  We need to get this election focused on the issues that make a difference in the lives of Virginians every day," Bowerbank said.
