Maryland gubernatorial candidates Wes Moore and Dan Cox will face each other in a gubernatorial debate next month, offering voters a first live glimpse of their sharp political differences.
The debate, which is slated for Oct. 12, will be hosted by Maryland Public Television (MPT).
It is the first debate that both candidates have agreed to participate in. Cox has repeatedly criticized Moore in recent weeks, arguing that he has refused other invitations. Moore turned down a request to participate in a forum Sept. 27 at Morgan State University. Allisa Mason, scheduling director for Moore’s campaign, told the MSU Spokesman, the college’s newspaper, that “we also have a responsibility not to promote or elevate the dangerous views of our opponent.”
Mason said Moore would debate Cox at “the appropriate time and forum.”
