Chester is still awaiting an answer, and on Sunday said his opponent’s reluctance to acknowledge the request is a “sure sign of cowardice.”
“The only answer I can come up with is that Rep. Zlotnik is afraid to defend his his policies and his party’s platform,” Chester said. “When Rep. Zlotnik last faced a Republican challenger in 2018, he agreed to a debate.
“I wonder what changed since then.”
Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons said the change comes in the form of Chester, an African-American man “who proudly served our country when he served overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom.”
“Bruce was deployed for more than a year, he’s an inspiring man who destroys every stereotype the Democrats hold so dear, ” Lyons said. “Rep. Zlotnik keeps ducking Bruce’s debate invite because his record pales in comparison.”
Weeks after receiving Republican House candidate Bruce Chester’s debate request, still no answer from Democratic state Rep. Jonathan Zlotnik
