“There are big differences between how Lieutenant Governor Northam and I will approach the serious challenges facing our Commonwealth, and these debates will ensure the voters know them,” said Gillespie. “I appreciate the hard work of the event’s organizers and volunteers, and I hope Lieutenant Governor Northam will make the time in his schedule to join me at these debates.”
Gillespie has accepted the following debate invitations:
