FOUNTAIN INN, SC-State Senator and Fourth Congressional District Candidate David Thomas made the following statement regarding a debate challenge from Bob Inglis:

“Earlier today, I was challenged by Bob Inglis to a series of debates in the coming months.  I have an answer for Congressman Inglis: I’m ready.”

“I am ready to debate Bob Inglis so that voters see the clear differences between myself and the incumbent.  The people of the 4th Congressional District deserve a chance to look at each candidate and evaluate who will best serve them in Washington, D.C.”

“I challenge all local media to get involved and plan as many debates as possible to let voters get to know each of the candidates.”
