Tuesday night, the Beacon newspaper hosted a forum between the candidates for State Senate District 56. The questions covered a wide range of issues, including questions to candidates from candidates.
Our candidate, John Albers, dominated the debate with a positive, upbeat, and enthusiastic discussion of his views and the important issues of the day.
Afterwards, John spoke with supporters and said, “I am always glad to attend debates and answer questions on key issues. I am going to listen to voters, be responsive and take prompt action. It was a great evening and I want to thank all who attended. I would also like to commend one of my opponents, David Belle Isle, for his honorable performance. While we disagree on some issues, we did so respectfully and forthrightly.”
Surprisingly, our other opponent, Brandon Beach, exploded with angry attacks on both Albers and Belle Isle including outrageous distortions of Belle Isle’s positions and puzzling false attacks on Albers’ extensive business success. We were disappointed in his behavior and negative politics.
Albers response, as always, was honest and optimistic. He said, “Since the beginning I have believed we were running a great and honest race. Tuesday we confirmed what most observers have already concluded: We are winning support and other campaigns are desperately behind. North Fulton deserves better, and we are going to give them better. I look forward to providing the honorable, ethical leadership that North Fulton has come to expect from Tom Price and Dan Moody in the State Senate.”
