With less than five weeks before early voting starts, the eight candidates in Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District don’t have any plans for face-to-face debates.
But there could be at least a couple of joint appearances before local business groups by Republican nominee Chuck Fleischmann and Democrat nominee John Wolfe.
The two have been invited to appear jointly before the Cleveland/Bradley County Chamber of Commerce later this month on Sept. 23 and before the Chattanooga Board of Realtors on Oct. 6.
The Downtown Council of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce scrapped its plans for an Oct. 7 all-candidate forum when the group couldn’t get Fleischmann and some of the independents to appear. Fleischmann, who is favored in the GOP-leaning district, says he hasn’t decided about debating.
