The Great Debaters

In a matter of hours, the eight senatorial candidates vying for two seats to represent the municipality of Saipan, will face off for the first time this campaign season. This evening, the Chamber of Commerce will showcase one of two Great Debates. The other being tomorrow for the gubernatorial candidates.

This evening, Senate President Pete P. Reyes and Rep. Ralph Torres of the Republican Party will join the Covenant Party hopefuls of former representatives Ana Teregeyo and Jacinta Kaipat; Rep. Justo Quitugua of the Democratic Party and the independent candidates, Gregorio Cruz, Paul Camacho and Rep. Tina Sablan.

CLW is anticipating a good turnout this evening. We will post details of the debate as soon as they become available. Tonight's event may very well alter current street polls indicating Rep. Tina Sablan and Deputy Secretary of Labor Jacinta Kaipat as the frontrunners for the two seats up for grabs. Rep. Ralph Torres, Sen. Pete Reyes and Rep. Justo Quitugua are currently neck and neck following the top two on the leader board.
