A spokesperson for the reelection campaign of New York attorney general Democrat Eric Schneiderman has announced they are working on setting a date for a debate against GOP opponent John Cahill, Newsday reports.

Cahill has been calling on Schneiderman to debate in recent months, issuing his most recent request just a few days ago.

“We’re going to go anywhere, anytime to debate the attorney general on critical issues,” Cahill told capitolnewyork.com.

Cahill has criticized Schneiderman not only for disregarding debate requests but also for avoiding questions from the press – as can be seen in this Times Union video of Schneidermann leaving an event at which he gave the keynote address.
