Dan Liljenquist on Principles & Values

GOP primary should include 8 debates, not just two

In the ad, Liljenquist reiterates his call for eight debates, noting Hatch challenged his primary opponent in 1976 to the same thing. As the ad closes, Liljenquist urges viewers to call Hatch's campaign office to tell him Utahns deserve real debates on the issues and provides its telephone number.

Liljenquist said he thinks it's appropriate for voters to personally ask Hatch to debate. Hatch's communication director noted that incoming phone calls allow Hatch supporters to talk about the senator's record and the debates he and Liljenquist have already had. Hatch and Liljenquist had two debates and more than a dozen joint appearances prior to the state GOP convention in April.
