“It wasn’t easy to confirm the debate but it was the most asked question the last month by voters wherever I went,” stated John Henry Decker in a news release. “We have been trying for months, but in the end, I am glad Congressman Larson agreed he had a responsibility to the voters and accepted the proposal we put forth through the League of Women Voters.”
