Treadwell campaign cries "bad faith" on debates

A spokesman for Sandy Treadwell says the Republican hasn’t yet agreed to the three debates unveiled last week by Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand’s campaign.

Peter Constantakes, Treadwell’s spokesman, says a meeting had been scheduled for Monday of this week to negotiate a debate schedule.

He says Gillibrand’s team unveiled the three-debate line-up unilaterally, a move that Constantakes described as “bad faith.”

The Treadwell campaign says they weren’t even informed about one of the debates.

Sandy Treadwell has been pushing for a 10-debate schedule and wants a “town hall” style format.

The Gillibrand campaign says they simply announced that they had accepted three invitations from major media outlets.

Spokeswoman Jill Greco says the format for the three events were established by the hosts.
