\u201cSo this is just to give information to the public\u2026 on what the candidates stand for so they have\u00a0 an easier time during the voting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Miranda said Torres, Palacios, and Sablan will be given\u00a0 five to 10 questions, but it\u2019s subject to change depending on how long they take to answer the questions.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the candidates were not given advanced questions as all of these will be passed during the debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of these questions have been referred to the candidates,\u201d Miranda said.<\/p>\n

He said there is a forum that they did and these questions will be randomly picked from the forum during the debate.<\/p>\n

Patti Arroyo will serve as the moderator. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $10 each.<\/p>\n

No campaign materials, literature, hats, stickers, signs, banners, or the like shall be displayed or distributed at or around the debate venue, according to the chamber\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
