US House candidates square off at forum
9th District hopefuls question each others' stances
Placeholder Image
Martha Zoller questioned opponent Doug Collins Monday on his fiscally conservative credentials, while Collins, in turn, challenged Zoller’s stance on illegal drugs. And while there are three other people — economic development strategist Clifton McDuffie, Jackson County Commission Chairman Hunter Bicknell and White County principal Roger Fitzpatrick — running to be Georgia’s newest congressman, Zoller and Collins seem to have all eyes on each other. In a forum sponsored by the White County GOP, the five candidates to represent 20 Northeast Georgia counties in the U.S. House of Representatives sat side by side in an upstairs room at a Cleveland branch of Community Bank and Trust on Monday night in one of their first chances for the candidates to publicly question the others’ political stances.
