MAYVILLE – The two candidates for New York\u2019s 23rd Congressional District<\/strong> were at Chautauqua Lake Central School Tuesday night, Nov. 1 to participate in the second of two scheduled debates.<\/p>\n

The forum, hosted by the Chautauqua County League of Women Voters<\/strong> and the American Association of University Women<\/strong>, featured both Rep. Tom Reed<\/strong> (R-Corning) and challenger John Plumb<\/strong> (D-Lakewood).<\/p>\n

Reed told the audience that he feels the biggest challenge facing residents of the 23rd district is a lack of economic opportunity \u2013 which is something he\u2019s been working to help bring to the southern tier since he was first elected in 2010. Plumb said that the biggest challenge facing residents is the dysfunction that can currently be found in Washington DC, and he said the Reed has shown he\u2019s been a part of that ongoing dysfunction.<\/p>\n
