Kats challenges Schwartz to debates

Another week, another debate challenge.

This time it's Marina Kats' turn. The Republican challenger in the 13th Congressional District on Monday called on her opponent, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Abington), to join her in two debates before Election Day.

"I think the people of the 13th district deserve a chance to hear their candidates on the issues without sound bytes, 30-second attack ads, or mudslinging," Kats said in a statement.

A spokeswoman for Schwartz did not immediately comment.

It's been a challenging race for Kats, a political newcomer who has struggled to gain traction against the well-funded Schwartz in an increasingly Democratic district.

In August, Kats told PolitickerPA.com that she was frustrated with the lack of help from local Republicans.
