Possible Senate Debate to be Held at Hamline

cbielke01 — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:01:03 -0500

Republican Senator Norm Coleman and Democratic Senate Candidate Al Franken have been invited to participate in a unique forum, scheduled for September 23, focused exclusively on issues affecting women. The forum will explore the candidates' positions on issues such as pay equity, Title IX, access to health care and early childhood education. The forum invitation was extended by a joint partnership of Minnesota Women Lawyers and the YWCA of Minneapolis. It has not yet been determined which additional candidates will be invited to participate in the forum. Additional candidates will be invited shortly after the September 9 primaries based on the established candidate criteria.

The event will be hosted by Hamline University School of Law and is supported by campus Democrat and Republican student organizations. It will be held at Sundin Hall on the University's campus and time will be given for audience questions.

The forum was precipitated by recent developments in the U.S. Senate regarding equal pay for women. In April 2008, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act failed to garner the 60 votes needed to move the bill forward for debate and vote.

"Issues of equal pay or equal work have a tremendous impact on women's lives. We are disappointed that the merits of any legislation related to fair pay were not debated by the U.S. Senate," MWL Public Policy Co-Chair Susan Burns stated. "However the absence of debate in the Senate on this issue presents an opportunity for our Minnesota Senate candidates to identify their positions on this issue and women's issues generally for voters. It is also an opportunity for each candidate to convince women voters that their needs will be addressed."
