Debates to be streamed live
The Gubernatorial Debate and U.S. Delegate Debate that will be hosted this week and next by the Saipan Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Marianas College will be streamed live, to enable people to watch both events via the internet.
Velma Palacios, chamber board president, said that tickets to both candidates’ debates sold out almost immediately after the announcement of the event.
“We sold 300 tickets for each debate and are pleased with the response from our community. This is a very important event that will allow community stakeholders to hear from candidates pursuing the highest seats in the CNMI,” she said. “We understand the demand for this debate and are excited that the Northern Marianas College has graciously offered to livestream the event to reach more people in the CNMI.”
The U.S. Delegate Debate is slated tomorrow, Sept. 20, 2018, at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center from 6pm to 8:30pm. It will be livestreamed through the Northern Marianas College Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NMC.Proa/ and Saipan Chamber of Commerce group page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1614723608777186/?ref=br_rs.
Daily updates on the debates are posted to both pages.
In addition to NMC’s livestreaming, media partners have been invited to join the event so that the information is well covered for individuals who were not able to secure a ticket. (PR)
