2008 Presidential Debates
Candidate debates, regardless of the office being sought, provide an excellent opportunity to learn more about the candidates and the issues, including the issues impacting nursing and health care. In the 2008 election season, technology is taking a front row seat in revolutionizing the debate forums.
ANA urges you to watch as many of these debates as you can. We have posted some of them below and will be updating this page as we learn of new events. If you know of any other debates that we have not listed, please contact the ANA Government Relations staff.
