Sponsored by the Delaware Journalism Collaborative, the debate will be live-streamed over YouTube and on Facebook. Voters can tune in on the Collaborative’s Facebook page at facebook.com/DEJournalismCollab/ to watch, or they can go to the collaborative’s YouTube channel youtube.com/live/P5CeDNUkSdE.

Members of the collaborative, which consists of 23 independent newsrooms and media organizations statewide, will also cover and/or broadcast the debates live on their respective social media channels.

The debates were intentionally scheduled to take place prior to the statewide primary, to help voters to decide on their party’s candidate, and to encourage voter turnout for the primary election. All the qualified candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties have been invited to participate in the debates.

Candidates for governor include Democrats Bethany Hall-Long, Matt Myer and Collin O’Mara; and Republicans Jerrold A. Price, Mike Ramone and Bobby Williamson.

A panel of three journalists, each representing one of the media partners in the collaborative, will rotate taking turns in asking the candidates prepared questions. Each panel will also have a moderator to keep track of time and coordinate the dialogue. Questions will not be shared with the candidates in advance.
