Why are you not inviting Heather Curtis?
The reason that Heather Curtis is not a participant is that the League of Women Voters debate/forum policy states that “candidates who are certified to appear on the general election print ballot and achieve a 10% or higher voter recognition in established non-partisan polls” will be invited to participate.” Mr. Curtis, and therefore Ms. Curtis, was at 8% in the most recent non-partisan poll.
