FINCASTLE, VA (Rocktown Now) — Congressman Ben Cline, Republican nominee for re-election to the 6th Congressional District, announced he has accepted invitations to debate Democratic opponent Beth Macy ahead of the November 3 election.

Cline made the following statement:

“I appreciate these opportunities to engage in meaningful dialogue with voters about the issues that matter most in their daily lives,” said Cline. “Since my election in 2018, I have fought in Congress for the citizens of the Sixth District to defend their constitutional rights, advance their economic security, and keep their communities safe. I will continue to stand up for our shared conservative values and make sure the voices of the Sixth District are heard in Washington. I look forward to making that case to voters and advancing solutions that will continue American greatness for another 250 years.”
