Nan Rich challenges Charlie Crist to series of debates

in Uncategorized by

Nan Rich welcomed Charlie Crist to the gubernatorial race this morning and is calling for him to debate the issues with her in a series of televised events around the state. 

“Charlie is a Democrat now – but he’s changed more than his party registration – he’s changed his stance on many major issues and voters I’ve met with wonder how committed he is to his new found positions,” said Rich in a statement. 

Continued Rich, “That’s why I hope that he will embrace this opportunity to debate the important issues Floridian’s care about.  They want to know how we will improve Florida’s schools and what we’ve done in the past to support them, they want to know how we will protect Florida’s fragile environment, they want to know how we will protect Florida’s at risk children and elderly and I know that Florida’s women want to know where we stand on protecting their reproductive rights.” 

Rich called for a series of 10 debates in each of Florida’s major media markets beginning in January and concluding the week before the Primary with a statewide televised debate.
