Letter: Kevin Kiley refuses to debate Jessica Morse

Jessica Morse, running for our CD-3 Representative for US Congress, is eager to debate our current Congressman Kevin Kiley---- anywhere and any time.

Representative Kevin Kiley, however, has declined the invitation to a candidates' forum sponsored by the venerable League of Women Voters of five counties (Nevada, El Dorado, Placer, Plumas, and Sacramento), which represents 350,000 people.

The voters need to know where Kiley stands on pertinent issues such as women's reproductive rights, birth control, certifying elections, whether the 2020 election was stolen, reducing wildfire risk, gun safety reform, etc.

Kiley, who visits these counties to speak when he thinks he can garner votes, seems afraid to tell us his values, why he has voted on important issues the way he has, and how he'll vote on important issues in the future.

His opponent, Jessica Morse, is happy to debate him anywhere, any time.

Turning down the invitation to a candidates' forum from the venerable League of Women Voters to debate Jessica Morse is cowardly. And weird.

I encourage every voter, regardless of party affiliation, to contact his offices and urge him to participate in the forum. Washington DC 202-225-2523; Rocklin 916-724-2575
