TONIGHT: Bono Mack to debate Pougnet
Rep. Mary Bono Mack, R-Calif., is set to debate Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet tonight live on a local CBS affiliate KPSP. The event marks the first time in 8 years Bono Mack has debated a general election opponent.
Pougnet, who is openly gay, is the Democratic nominee who will challenge Bono Mack this November. If he wins, he’d be the first openly gay parent ever to win a seat in Congress. Pougnet and his husband have two children.
“This debate will be a great opportunity for you and all of the residents of Riverside County to see the clear differences between me and my opponent. You’ll get to hear directly from us about where we stand on the issues that matter to you, and how we would work to solve the problems that face our nation and our district,” Pougnet said yesterday in an e-mail to supporters.
The one-hour debate will be streamed live online at KPSPlocal2.com beginning at 6:30 pm PDT, which is 9:30 pm in the East.
