Members of the League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County are offering a clarification regarding recent comments about a potential debate for the First Ward Common Council Democratic Primary.
Incumbent Don Williams Jr., in an interview with the OBSERVER last week, stated he would not debate the endorsed Democratic candidate Natalie Luczkowiak due to concerns about the event being “in person.” His full comment to the OBSERVER was this: “I didn’t think having a live debate was the safest thing for any of the residents or supporters of her or I,” he said, noting Common Council meetings are being held virtually.
