NEWPORT--The Democratic and Republican nominees for the First District Congressional seat will debate at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 23, in the Newport Grammar School auditorium.

 

Republican nominee Dr. Phil Roe, of Johnson City, and Democratic nominee Rob Russell, of Kingsport, will respond to questions provided by the moderator, Dr. Lonnie Butler.

 

"We are fortunate to have this type of event coming to our town, and I hope the community will come out and support this event," said Linda Branam.

 

"This is an excellent opportunity to hear the candidates' stands on the issues, and to get to know the candidates better," she added.

 

The three Independent candidates, Joel Goodman and T.K. Owens, both of Johnson City, and James Reeves, of Boones Creek, will not be participating in the debate.

 

All five candidates participated in a debate, sponsored by the League of Women Voters, at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Greeneville on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
