Update: The Murphy campaign last week also called for Burbank and Winn to be included. They sent a letter to debate organizers, which read in part:


  To this end, we have accepted the invitation to participate in your debate with the assumption that all candidates who have qualified for the November ballot will participate in this important event. Just because some candidates might not have the resources to get their message onto the TV airwaves shouldn't mean that they are denied the opportunity to express their views in the context of a debate. 

  We consider a candidate to have earned the right to participate in debates if the Connecticut Secretary of the State has recognized him/her as having qualified for the November ballot.



They then listed Burbank and Winn as qualifying candidates alongside Murphy and Cappiello. The Cappiello campaign is currently withholding judgment, although they do want to see the debate go forward.
