The Debate for Tennessee's Future
The Issue
Lauren Pinkston, Independent candidate for Tennessee Governor, is calling on leading candidates to come together for a statewide televised debate.
Tennesseans deserve the opportunity to hear directly from the people asking to lead our state on the same stage, answering the same questions, and speaking to the issues that matter most to voters across West, Middle, and East Tennessee.
Lauren Pinkston has committed to participating.
Now, we are asking Republican nominee Senator Marsha Blackburn, Democratic nominee Councilwoman Jerri Green, and fellow Independent candidate David Hatley to join her.
This effort is bigger than any one campaign or political party. Voters deserve the chance to hear competing ideas on education, jobs, healthcare, public safety, infrastructure, the cost of living, and the future of Tennessee.
The Pinkston campaign is asking Tennesseans from every background and every corner of the state to add their names to this call:
Give voters the debate they deserve.
Four candidates. One stage. Let Tennessee hear them all.
**By signing this petition, you are joining Lauren Pinkston in calling for a statewide televised gubernatorial debate before Election Day.
