Senate candidates to debate in Shelton

Some of Sen. Patty Murray‘s challengers are scheduled to debate Wednesday in Shelton.

Dino Rossi won’t be there, but the Mason County Republican Party’s website lists candidates who are confirmed for its forum: Republicans Paul Akers and Clint Didier, along with conservative independent Skip Mercer and a candidate who’s no longer in the race, Craig Williams.

The debate is at 5:30 p.m. in The Pavilion at Sentry Park. There’s a “pre-debate social” at 4 p.m. and those who attend can submit questions for the candidates.

UPDATE 6/16: I haven’t been able to reach Didier’s campaign, but with Politico reporting he’s in Washington, D.C., this week, he looks like a no-show for the “debate.” Paul Akers’s campaign said it doesn’t expect Didier to be there.
