O’Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers Statement on DNC Vice Chairs Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Mayor R.T. Rybak’s Joint Statement on Debates

STATEMENT: DNC VICE CHAIRS RIGHT TO CALL FOR MORE DEBATES
 
BALTIMORE, MD---O’Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers released the following statement on DNC Vice Chairs Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Mayor R.T. Rybak’s joint statement denouncing the DNC debate schedule:
 
“DNC Vice Chairs Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Mayor R.T. Rybak voiced what Governor O'Malley has said all along:  the DNC’s limited debate schedule is bad for our Party and bad for our democracy.
 
“We are in full agreement with the Vice Chairs that the DNC should immediately drop its unprecedented exclusivity requirement and schedule more debates in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. At the very least, Democrats in these states should have at least one additional opportunity to hear from their Presidential candidates in each of their states before they make up their minds.”
