MCNERNEY CHALLENGES POMBO TO WEEKLY DEBATES
Behind in the polls, Republican Congressman cuts and runs from community forums
"DUBLIN, CA – Jerry McNerney, Democratic nominee for California's 11th Congressional District, today challenged Congressman Richard Pombo to weekly debates. Pombo has repeatedly refused to debate McNerney at forums proposed by the American Association of Retired Persons, the Commonwealth Club, and the League of Women Voters. McNerney is committed to providing people the opportunity to compare the candidates in their community.
"It's not yet Halloween, but Richard Pombo is already behaving like a ghost," said Jerry McNerney. "He won't debate in Dublin. He won't debate in Danville. He won't debate in Stockton or Morgan Hill. I know Pombo attends events sponsored by corporate lobbyists and President Bush, but I don't know who he thinks he represents. The oil companies and Washington lobbyists who fund Pombo's negative campaign want complex favors. The taxpayers who pay his salary just want simple answers. Is that too much to ask?"

Jerry McNerney is a nationally recognized expert in wind engineering and renewable energy, with a PhD in mathematics. During his career in wind energy, McNerney's work contributed to saving the equivalent of approximately 30 million barrels of oil, or 8.3 million tons of carbon dioxide – the main greenhouse gas – as well as other harmful pollutants. The Democratic nominee for California's 11th Congressional District, Jerry has been married for 29 years and has three grown children." (source)
