The forums that Bob Jackson and Steve Bacher want would take place in as many as 14 Cape May County municipalities between September and the November election. The race for freeholder typically involves one large public forum prior to the election. “They don’t have to take us up on 14. Take us up on five,” Jackson said Friday. “Take us up on something other than one at one location.” The Democrats are running against incumbent Republicans Ralph Bakley Sr. and Gerald Thornton for two three-year seats. Jackson said he believes such forums would be well- attended. If held in different locations on different days, they would draw more people and generate more interest, he said. “I think it’s a good thing to have the electorate understand who the candidates are, what positions they stand for, and how they respond to frank and open questions,” Jackson said. Thornton said a large number of forums is not practical among his other professional responsibilities. “It’s very difficult to say we’re going to sit down and try to schedule things, especially when you’re a sitting incumbent office holder, because there are so many demands on your time,” he said. Bakley also said such a number of public forums before the election is not practical. “I think one debate, that’s the way it’s always been and I see no reason why that should be changed,” he said. “We always have one debate that’s scheduled with the League of Women Voters, and I think that should do it.” The election is Nov. 6.
