During the forum, Maddox challenged Governor Kay Ivey to four debates before the general election in November. According to our news partners at AL.com, those debates would be:
A debate on public education and economic development.
A debate on health care, mental health, public safety and infrastructure.
A “town hall meeting” in a major Alabama city.
A “town hall meeting” in a rural county.
According to the report, Maddox expects Ivey to try to ride the coattails of President Trump’s popularity in the state. But, he says, she needs to display the same courage and willingness to debate as the president did during his candidacy. Ivey has yet to appear for a public debate with a gubernatorial opponent both before and after the primary. Her office has yet to respond to Saturday’s challenge from Maddox.
