from Sunday June 3 coverage in Herald-Palladium front page -- www.h-p.com/
U.S. Rep. Fred Upton and challenger Jack Hoogendyk have agreed to hold at least one debate, set for June 10 at Western Michigan University.
In a Friday press release, Hoogendyk's campaign director, Steven Mobley, said his campaign has been pressing "for a series of debates around the district," but "the Upton staff would not commit to more than one, citing the uncertainty of the Congressman's House schedule. They did say they wanted to 'Get one on the books,' and we appreciate that they have started to discuss having debates, but time is running short."
Joe Wicks, campaign manager for Upton for All of Us, said: "Fred looks forward to discussing his efforts to strengthen our economy and repeal the government takeover of health care in the June 10th debate. We are working on scheduling other debates."
Upton, R-St. Joseph, and Hoogendyk are contending for the 6th District nomination in the Republican primary election in August. The winner will face Democratic and other party opponents on the ballot in November 2012. . .
