Even as he fights a legal challenge seeking to keep him off the ballot, independent Jim Schneller is letting it be known that he should have a chance to participate in campaign debates in the 7th Congressional District.

The two will debate several more times in the coming months, starting with a radio debate Thursday evening hosted by Dom Giordano on The Big Talker 1210AM.
