Bragg Point website as it appeared Tuesday afternoon with highlighted portion on Greg Vital being shown with an undergraduate degree in business administration from Southern Adventist University.State Senate Republican candidate Greg Vital said he’s not a college graduate despite saying the opposite in a public forum.
“That was a Freudian slip,” Vital said Tuesday. “It was a mistake.”
Vital is campaigning for the District 10 seat now held by Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga, who’s running for Chattanooga mayor.
On May 31, Vital spoke at a candidate forum sponsored by the Hamilton County Young Republicans. During his opening remarks, Vital said he “finished up” college in 1979 and “graduated with only $900 on my student loan.”
Vital’s campaign website says he “attended” Southern Adventist University and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Officials at both schools confirmed Vital’s enrollment, but said he never graduated.
