Bob Healey Absent for Third Time – Fails to Show Up to Another Debate

MARLTON NJ – Today, Andy Kim released the following statement after Bob Healey did not show up to the Alpha Kappa Alpha, Pi Mu Omega chapter debate – his third missed debate or candidate forum – in the race for New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.

“When Bob Healey made it through the Republican primary, he challenged me to 10 debates. Since issuing that challenge he has failed to show up to 3 scheduled debates and forums that I have attended,” said Andy Kim. “Thursday night, every other candidate showed up including conservative and libertarian candidates who weren’t afraid of facing tough questions. Part of the responsibility of this job is showing up – I always say ‘whether you voted for me or not, you’re my boss.’ Healey’s absence is not only disrespectful to voters, it shows that even though he’s applying for this job, he’s unwilling to show up for the interviews.”

Bob Healey has been absent from debates hosted by:

• The nonpartisan League of Women Voters and WHYY, held on October 12
• The Delta Sigma Theta, Rancocas Valley Alumnae Chapter, held on October 25
• Alpha Kappa Alpha Pi Mu Omega, held on October 27
