RADIO DEBATE ON WARM 

Thirty years ago in the Scranton Mayor's race, Republican Jim Connors faced off against Jerry Notarriani in a radio debate on WARM Radio. The show was hosted by former Mayor Jim McNulty and was broadcast at noon. 
It was a unique situation because all three men were Democrats except for Connors who switched to the GOP to make the run against the Democrat. 
Connors went on to win three more terms as Mayor and then ran for Congress as a Democrat. 
in the race to succeed Joseph McDade.
