Huntington, IN. - Steve Ochs, Independent candidate for Huntington County Sheriff, today released the following statement regarding the decision by Republican candidate for Huntington County Sheriff, Terry Stoffel, to turn down an invitation from the Huntington TEA Party to participate in a public debate at the Huntington North High School Auditorium on October 23, 2010.

“It is unfortunate my opponent has decided not to come before the voters of Huntington County in a public forum and answer questions about serious issues facing Huntington County and the Huntington County Sheriff’s Department,” Ochs said. “I personally feel that the citizens of Huntington County deserve the opportunity to interview the man that they will choose to put in a position of authority in their community.  I am willing to openly discuss any matters of concern that citizens may have about this vital public service position.  I cannot understand why any candidate would avoid an opportunity to assist the community in its decision making for the upcoming election.  I ask that my opponent reconsider his decision to avoid public debate,” added Ochs.
