Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 Brown turns down debate with Pierce in Astoria Pierce accepted the invitation By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Gov. Kate Brown has turned down a debate with challenger Bud Pierce in Astoria. A partnership including EO Media Group, the par- ent company of The Daily Astorian, proposed a debate between Brown and Pierce to occur between Sept. 20 and Oct. 20 at the Liberty Theater . Other partners were Pamplin Media Group, The Columbia Forum and KOIN 6 News. Pierce’s campaign accept- ed Sept. 1, a day after receiv- ing the proposal. Brown’s campaign declined the debate Monday. “The Daily Astorian’s de- bate proposal, while very much appreciated, is too dif- ﬁ cult to schedule before the mid-October deadline,” said Chris Pair, a spokesman for Brown’s campaign. “Gov. Brown regrets not being able to accept this opportunity and looks forward to engaging with the North Coast in the future.” Brown and Pierce are scheduled for ﬁ ve debates: Sept. 24 in Bend, Sept. 30 in Portland, Oct. 6 in Eugene, Oct. 13 in Medford and Oct. 20 in Portland. Brown, a Democrat, was last in Clatsop County as a keynote speaker at Clatsop Community Col- lege’s graduation in June 2015. Pierce, a Republican, last toured through the county in May. The debate in Asto- ria would have been live- streamed, moderated by a media panel and covered three main topics. One topic would have included speciﬁ c concerns of coastal residents. OBITUARIES Kenneth Lawrence O’Toole Springﬁ eld April 29, 1947 — Aug. 6, 2016 “We are greatly disap- pointed that the governor has chosen not to participate in a debate here in Astoria on coastal issues,” said David Pero, the editor and publisher of The Daily Astorian . “Many of the coastal issues aren’t just regional, they have state- wide impact, and we remain greatly interested in hearing how each of the candidates would address those ques- tions. Those issues unfortu- nately have gone unanswered throughout the campaign and participating in a debate here would have allowed coastal residents the opportunity to judge the candidates and their responses themselves.” During the last governor’s race in 2014, Clatsop County narrowly went to Republican Dennis Richardson, largely based on former Gov. John Kitzhaber’s plan to phase gill netting off the main stem of the Columbia River. Ken O’Toole, 69, of Springﬁ eld, editor and Nehalem was a welcome refuge.
