Durston and Lungren to speak in Angels Camp, Carmichael

Congressional candidates Bill Durston and Dan Lungren will have their first actual debate on Wednesday, though the two men had pledged to debate as far back as June.

Durston, a Democrat, and 3rd Congressional District Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Gold River) will speak at a two-hour evening debate in Angels Camp, moderated by Calaveras Enterprise publisher Ralph Alldredge. Questions will come from Alldredge and audience members.

Both candidates are also set to participate in a candidates' forum on Thursday evening in Carmichael, sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of California and the League of Women Voters of Sacramento County.

In a press release, Durston's campaign noted that Lungren has missed several other forums where he and Durston were invited to appear, and Durston instead spoke alone.

Lungren's campaign has said Lungren's commitments in Washington D.C. kept him from formally pledging to attend those events.
