From The Buffalo News...
Opponents Charge Jacobs With Ducking Televised Primary Debate
By Robert J. McCarthy
NEWS POLITICAL REPORTER
Republican challengers in the June 23 Republican primary for NY-27 are jabbing at endorsed candidate Christopher L. Jacobs, claiming he is ducking a debate sought by WIVB-TV.
Beth A. Parlato and Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr. say they agreed to a full-fledged debate among the trio on June 16, but that Jacobs will participate only in an “interview” format with Channel 4 reporters.
On Saturday, Parlato launched the criticism of Jacobs – the state senator from Orchard Park – for avoiding the potential of direct confrontation with his opponents.
“The career politician is refusing to debate me. Why? What is he hiding? Is he afraid that his liberal voting record will be exposed?” she asked. “If Jacobs is refusing to debate me, how can he debate anyone or stand up for anything in Congress?
“If he can’t even debate me, he certainly doesn’t have what it takes to stand up to AOC, Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer,” she added, referring to Democratic leaders in Congress.
Parlato, a family law attorney and former Darien town justice, said Channel 4 suggested the debate against her primary challengers several weeks ago and she accepted. On Friday, she said Channel 4 told her the debate is canceled because Jacobs refused the format.

LIDA Member Rinow to Member Ruda: You were a sitting Trustee on the Board. Did you help support Mr. Sweeney getting a seat on the CDC Board?"
Chris Jacobs (@JacobsNY27) will be a tremendous Congressman who will always fight for New York. He is Strong on the Border, our Military and Vets, and the Second Amendment. Chris has my Complete and Total Endorsement! Vote for Chris on June 23! #NY27 https://t.co/LYowAxQqfp

I am deeply honored to have the support of our President for the upcoming primary election,
and I’m proud to be the only candidate to carry his endorsement for this district. Western New
York needs a conservative leader in Congress to fight for our values, and our President needs an
ally who will help him fight for all Americans as we rebuild our nation, Our President has put his trust in me and knows I am the leader he needs in Washington with him working to get tough on China, secure our borders, and build our economy. I look forward to working everyday to help him accomplish his America First Agenda.”
CHRIS JACOBS
What's the next level Senator, The House of Lords?
BTW, in his return message, Senator Jacobs does not appear to confirm support for President Trump in the area of the Second Amendment.
