[Release] Charlie Ross Supporters Say Bryant Must Debate for Benefit of the Public
A group of Ross supporters called Friends of Charlie Ross issued a release today accusing Bryant of refusing to debate issues because he believes that debating might hurt his lead in the race. Ross and his enthusiasts maintain that candidates must not debate for their own benefit but for the benefit of the public and that Bryant’s choice not to debate is to the detriment of voters:
Bryant was quoted in the Meridian Star over the weekend as saying:
“I’m not going to debate perhaps where he wants us to because of a lot of different features. One of the things I’ve always believed is that when you are ahead in a race, you try to stay ahead. We think that what we are doing is going to keep us ahead in the race.”
Senator Ross has consistently called for the two candidates to meet face-to-face in a wide-open Republican primary debate to discuss the issues affecting Mississippians.
“Phil Bryant has it wrong—debates are not about what’s good for candidates, they are about what’s good for voters.”
Ross continues: “Mississippi’s Republican voters deserve to hear each candidate’s plan to address the issues,” Ross said. “It’s time for Mr. Bryant to stop dodging for his own perceived benefit and come out and debate for the public’s benefit.”
Senator Ross has accepted invitations to unbiased debates hosted by the Hinds County Republican Executive Committee and the Harrison County Republican Club. Bryant has not responded in the month since the invitations were extended.
