Starting next week, we are beginning our debate series. On Monday, US Senate hopefuls Jay Townsend and Gary Berntsen will square off live on YNN and NY1.

The following night, the 3 US Senate candidates in the other race will take the stage. Last week, we caught up with Joe Dioguardi to find out where his campaign stands. Monday night, Liz Benjamin was joined by another person who will be on the stage that night, David Malpass.
