Dr. Schwartz Challenges Congresswoman Clark to Debates

Dr. Shelly Schwartz is challenging Rep. Katherine Clark for her 5th Congressional seat.

The following is a press release from the Schwartz for Congress campaign:

Dr. Shelly Schwartz, a candidate for Massachusetts’ Congressional District 5 and physician for more than 40 years, continues to challenge U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark to a series of August debates – one per week for this month so voters will have enough time to learn about their competing visions for the future.

“We need to show people the kinds of policies we will work on to make government work better and more efficiently, how we will protect the American Dream, how we will continue to make health care accessible and affordable, how we will create jobs and offer solutions in Congress by reaching across the aisle to put an end to gridlock. These debates will provide a great opportunity for the voters in Congressional District 5 to learn more about us, our expertise, and policies for a better America.”

Dr. Schwartz continues to direct his campaign to reach out Rep. Clark to arrange for the debates. A letter was delivered July 19 to her Malden campaign office. Subsequent follow-up did not result in scheduling dates to facilitate substantive discussions on how to best move Congress.
