DNC Announces Media Partner for Flint, Michigan Debate on March 6th

WASHINGTON – The Democratic National Committee today announced that CNN has been selected to host the first newly sanctioned Democratic presidential candidates debate in Flint, Michigan. The March 6th debate will come just two days before the Wolverine State's March 8th primary and following news of the city's water crisis that has left residents exposed to toxic lead in their water.

"Our Democratic candidates have run spirited campaigns focused on how to best move our country forward, and our upcoming debate in Flint, Michigan is a critical setting to highlight what's at stake in these elections," said DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. "This debate is an opportunity to elevate the very serious issues facing the residents of Flint, and it's also an opportunity to remind voters what Democratic leadership can do for the economy -- so that everyone in America has a fair shot. Viewers across the country deserve a thoughtful and serious debate, and that's what they'll get from our candidates, because they have the right priorities and understand the struggles, hopes, and aspirations of the American people."

The DNC and CNN will announce local and social media partners in the coming days to ensure that Michiganders are able to participate and engage with our candidates in this important debate. In addition to Flint, the DNC has also sanctioned and will be holding debates on March 9th in Miami, Florida with Univision and the Washington Post, and later in April and May with times and locations to be determined.
