Incumbent Republican Andy Harris didn't show for the first League of Women Voters' debate at Chesapeake College on the Eastern Shore due to "a conflict."
Two years ago Harris refused to debate Democratic challenger John LaFerla after the Democratic primary candidate withdrew too late to change the ballot, saying LaFerla was not the primary winner.
According to the League of Women Voters, incumbent Andy Harris said last week he had a conflict and couldn’t make it to the forum, and the other Republican candidate, Jonathan Goff, also withdrew.
That left Democratic candidates Bill Tilghman and John LaFerla as the only participants. They took turns answering questions from the League of Women Voters and from the audience, ranging from their qualifications for the job to their views on immigration, health care, the economy and the environment.
