SHOCKER: David Schweikert Dodges Debate

In light of Schweikert's absence, Dr. Amish Shah will participate in a forum

Tonight, Dr. Amish Shah will take questions from the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission about the key issues facing Arizona's First Congressional District and his plan to address them in Congress.

This was supposed to be a debate, but David Schweikert simply can't be bothered to attend…

Maybe Schweikert needs time to write another speech calling for cuts to Social Security, or he's taking the day to brainstorm ways he can continue attacking abortion rights.

Only one thing's for certain: He refuses to show up for Arizona voters.

Don't forget: David Schweikert's refusal to debate is nothing new. This is Schweikert's third consecutive cycle without participating in a single debate.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"David Schweikert is ducking debates and refusing to face Dr. Amish Shah head on because he knows Arizonans will reject him as they learn more about his extreme agenda."
