In an article in the Register-Star Republican Mayor William Hallenbeck Jr. has rejected Democratic Mayoral Candidate Victor Mendolia's call to debate. Victor has proposed a Town Hall meeting in all five wards and one city-wide debate. In his press release Victor said "“Each ward has its own unique problems and concerns, both candidates should hear those concerns and have a chance to present their plans to address them,” stated Mendolia, the former city Democratic chairman. “Hudson is at a crossroads, and the voters of each ward and the city at large deserve an opportunity to hear how the candidates would address the issues they care about. I sincerely hope that the mayor will participate in these forums.”
Hallenbeck responded "It’s reasonable my opponent would request a debate. But he’s requesting six debates, one in each ward. It borderlines on the comical". Comical to hear from and interact directly with the voters? Even with that, Hallenbeck still has not committed to even one debate.
