Vice
Mayor Howard Gentry:
More
Debates Better For
Nashville
Vice
Mayor Howard Gentry feels more mayoral debates
will be better for Nashville.
“I
welcome the mayoral debate suggestion from Karl
Dean made at the IMF Forum,” Gentry said. “And
while five is a good start, I say the more the
better.
“I will
participate in a debate under any format. But I
do have some suggestions that might help us move
forward:
- I think
all candidates should be included;
- I think
debates should be geographically balanced to
take in all sections of our diverse city;
- I think
it would be good to have as many debates as
possible umpired independently by an
organization like the League of Women
Voters;
- And I
think it would be great to have as many debates
as possible televised live.
“I am
excited about opportunities to share my message
about how a great city can become even
greater.”
