One of the Republican candidates looking to challenge Democratic State Senator Rachel May skipped a candidate’s forum in Auburn.
Fanny Villarreal accused her Republican primary opponent, Caleb Slater of being a quote “proven fraudster” and a liar. Slater and Villarreal were invited to participate in a televised forum sponsored by The Citizen at Cayuga Community College yesterday.
In a news release, Villarreal said “He’s never had an honest day’s work in this community. I have been a fixture of the greater Syracuse area since I legally immigrated to this great nation 30 years ago; the public knows my record and my commitment.”
Villarreal is the executive director of the YWCA of Syracuse and Onondaga County.
