The Green - September 10, 2020

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

As part of our 2020 Election coverage, Delaware Public Media is once again offering a series of Candidate Conversations.

We reached out to all candidates filed to run in the races for U.S. House and U.S. Senate, as well as Governor, Lt. Governor and Insurance Commissioner and invited them to sit down with us.

Candidates in each race are being asked about the same set of topics to allow you to get to know them and compare them.

The race for U.S. House features 4 candidates challenging the incumbent, Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester.

On this edition of The Green, we feature the Libertarian and the Independent Party of Delaware candidates in the race, David Rogers and Cathy Purcell.

Purcell is running for statewide office for the first time.
