Allen refuses debate with primary opponent

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

U.S. Rep. Tom Allen has refused to two debates with primary challenger Tom Ledue.

Allen and Ledue are both running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. The winner will challenge U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in November.
