Two Democrats debate before hundreds, hoping to sway support away from Burgess, GOP
DENTON -- Well over 200 people gathered in the University of North Texas Union to watch Democratic congressional candidates Linsey Fagan and Will Fisher duke it out using their wits and rhetoric for a friendly debate Saturday night.
Fagan, of Keller, and Fisher, of Flower Mound, will face off in the Democratic primary for the U.S. House District 26 seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Pilot Point. The Democratic nominee will face either Burgess or his Republican challenger, Veronica Birkenstock, of Frisco, on Election Day in November.
Texas primary elections are coming up on March 6, with early voting beginning Feb. 20.
On Saturday afternoon, many were at the debate to be swayed one way or the other or, if nothing else, to engage in public dialogue.
