Tina Smith must agree to debate Richard Painter

Richard Painter, a strong , brilliant and ethical candidate for U.S. Senate has asked to debate his opponent Tina Smith. She says she is "too busy" even though Painter said he will debate her any time and any where of her choosing. "We the people" deserve to hear our candidates for such an important position. Painter takes no Dark Money, and Smith is relying on large corporate contributors. She should level the playing field by debating Richard Painter.

Why is this important?

I am struck by the differences between these two candidates on issues where Dark Money plays a role (PolyMet mining and medical coverage). In my opinion Painter is the stronger candidate yet because he takes no Dark Money many haven't enough information about him
