No debates set in Maricopa County attorney race

Forty-two days until the election, there have been no public debates finalized in the race between Democrat Tim Nelson and incumbent Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas.

Though the two will appear on NBC 12's "Sunday Square-Off" on Nov. 2, two days before the election, no other dates or venues have been set for the two to go head-to-head between now and then.

"I anticipate it will be resolved this week or next," said Thomas, speaking at a press conference Monday afternoon. "There is another one we're going to be agreeing to in the next couple of days."

Joshua Kilroy, campaign manager for Tim Nelson, confirmed that there are no other dates finalized, but said Thomas is missing an opportunity this week to meet his opponent.

"We are strongly encouraging County Attorney Thomas to attend the event being sponsored by the Maricopa County Bar Association on Wednesday," said Kilroy.
