Calls on Senator to Participate in Belo Corporation and Collin County GOP events

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today accepted invitations to the first two debates of the gubernatorial campaign and called on Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to join him. Sponsored by the Belo Corporation, owner of the Dallas Morning News and four Texas television stations, and the Collin County Republican party, the debates will provide a welcome look at the two candidates’ positions on issues that affect the future of the Lone Star State.

“The people of Texas deserve to have the issues discussed in an open forum,” said spokesman Mark Miner. “We are hopeful that Sen. Hutchison will leap at the opportunity to dispel concerns that her sixteen years in Washington have left her out of touch with the issues facing everyday Texans.”
