Debbie Mucarsel-Powell Accepts Debate Invitations for General Election

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell Has Agreed To Debates in West Palm Beach, Tampa, and Jacksonville Broadcasted Statewide

Miami, FL – Today, the Debbie for Florida team is announcing that Debbie Mucarsel-Powell has agreed to three televised, Florida-based debates in North, Central, and South Florida in the general election.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell has agreed to statewide broadcast debates with:

  • WPBF in West Palm Beach
  • WFLA in Tampa
  • WJXT in Jacksonville

For two decades, WPBF has co-hosted and moderated Florida statewide gubernatorial and Senate debates. The campaign is also working to secure a Spanish language statewide televised debate hosted in Florida to address the issues important to the Latino community in Florida and meet as many voters as possible where they are.

“For the last 14 years, extremist Rick Scott has tried to rob women of their freedoms, seniors of their Social Security and Medicare, and working families of opportunities to get ahead,” said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. “It’s past time that he answers to the Floridians who continue to suffer under an affordability crisis he created, all while he wrote the plan to raise taxes on the middle class and made hundreds of millions of dollars overseeing the largest Medicare fraud our country has ever seen. I hope Rick Scott has the courage to meet me on the debate stage to have this important conversation in English and in Spanish.”
