Letter: Mendonça says letter from League on forum misleading

Posted

To the editor:

The letter to the editor from Ms. Kassis and Ms. Keyser in The Portsmouth Times (“League: GOP candidates declined invitation to forum”) was misleading. 

I am a Republican candidate for Senate District 11 and I did participate in a forum sponsored by the R.I. League of Women Voters on Oct. 13, which was covered in the Portsmouth Times. The forum can be viewed at  https://my.lwv.org/rhode-island/2022-candidate-forum-videos.

Portsmouth

Editor’s note: The Oct. 13 forum was hosted by The League of Women Voters of Rhode Island. Kassis and Keyser were referring to a second Senate District 11 candidates’ forum to be hosted by The League of Women Voters of Newport County, which was canceled.
