Hackett, Meuser face off in last primary debate
By Zach SilberTenth Congressional District Republican candidates Dan Meuser and Chris Hackett faced off in their third and final debate last night.
The two candidates exchanged blows over negative advertising, campaign spending, social security, earmarks, and pork barrel spending, according to the Times Leader.
"I feel it's important for me to contrast my values and beliefs on the issues and how they differ from Dan," Hackett said.
The hour-long debate was held in the studio of WVIA-TV, Channel 44, and was broadcast over public television.
The winner of next Tuesday's Republican primary will likely face first-term Democratic Rep. Chris Carney in November.
