Democrat Senate candidate Michelle Nunn is calling for five debates against GOP nominee David Perdue to be held across the state in the run-up to the general election.
Perdue went through a gantlet of debates and forums almost every week in the months before the GOP’s May 20 primary, but he only had one face-to-face debate with his runoff challenger, U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, ahead of last week’s vote.
“Debates are going to be an important part of this race,” Nunn said. “I think five debates hosted by nonpartisan organizations – spread across the state – will offer a good chance to compare the background and record my opponent and I offer in this race, as well as how we would represent Georgia in the Senate.”
Perdue spokesman Derrick Dickey said the Republican participated in a dozen debates while Nunn only joined one.
“For her to now talk about the importance of debates shows the complete disingenuousness of her campaign,” he said.
