Treasurer Lynn Fitch has ignored three new invitations to debate Andy Taggart. The invitations came from both Andy’s campaign and media outlets.
On August 7, the day after the first primary in their race for Attorney General, Andy sent a letter to Ms. Fitch inviting her to participate in a series of three live debates during the three weeks of the runoff election at any times that would be agreeable to her.
Andy wrote, “As candidates for Attorney General, I believe we have a particular responsibility to allow the voters of our state to compare our skills and experience as advocates — and our position as public servants — in person and head to head.”
Ms. Fitch has not responded to Andy’s letter.
Later that same week, WAPT 16, an ABC television affiliate, invited both candidates to accept thirty minutes of free air time for a debate at any time that would be agreeable to both. Andy agreed right away. Ms. Fitch cited “scheduling conflicts” in declining the invitation.
Andy offered to call in to SuperTalk radio and debate on air with Ms. Fitch during a time slot when she was to be interviewed live. Again, no dice.
Three chances, three strikes.
Lynn Fitch refuses to debate Andy Taggart for the public to see and hear. Andy is ready to go to work in the toughest job in state government, while Ms. Fitch hides behind claimed scheduling conflicts. When the court asks if the State of Mississippi is ready for trial, “scheduling conflicts” cannot be the answer from our lawyer.
