Liberal U.S. House Candidate for TN-5, Joshua Rawlings Issues Debate Challenge to 30-year "Blue Dog" Incumbent, Jim Cooper
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Joshua Rawlings, U.S. House democratic primary candidate for TN-5, calls for a debate with Rep. Jim Cooper ahead of the Aug. 6th primary. Rawlings said, "Cooper has been in Congress for 30-years and owes it to the people of middle Tennessee to defend his record. Surely, we as Democratic primary candidates have smart and substantial policy ideas that the constituents of our district deserve to hear in a public debate setting so informed decisions can be made at the polls."
Jim Cooper has so-far ignored the request to debate from Rawlings on multiple occasions. With just days left until the August 6th primary, there is no better time to give the voters of middle Tennessee a voice, and a chance for constituents to understand the candidates' views and solutions on pressing issues and policy.
U.S. House district TN-5 encompasses all of Davidson county (including Nashville), and parts of Dickson and Cheatham counties.
