Debates Kick Off

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Saratoga TODAY hosted the first night of live debates on Tuesday, Oct. 12. The event, which took place at the Saratoga Springs City Center featured candidates for Commissioner of Public Safety, Commissioner of Accounts, and the two Saratoga Springs seats on the County Board of Supervisors.

“It was a good night” stated Saratoga TODAY Publisher, Chad Beatty. “We had a few technical hiccups with the Facebook Live feed, but it was a great learning experience, and we have a list of action items which will dramatically improve viewership quality for next week’s final debate.”

On Thursday, Oct. 21, Saratoga TODAY and Spa City Digital will host their final night of debates for Commissioner of Finance, Commissioner of Public Safety, and Mayor of Saratoga Springs.

“I expect the upcoming debate to be more politically charged based on the positions, topics and personalities,” Beatty added. “It is nice to have in-person events again and allow candidates to go head-to-head in live debates.”

The debates can be viewed on the Saratoga TODAY Facebook page. The schedule for the final debates is as follows:

6:00 – 6:30 p.m.: Commissioner of Finance

6:30 – 7:00 p.m.: Commissioner of Public Safety
