Helton to hold voter meetings
Esther Helton, the Republican nominee for state House District 30, said she will hold a series of voter meetings to build support ahead of the Nov. 6 election.
In a news release, Helton said she “pledges to run a grassroots, voter-focused campaign that will be void of the political stunts and theatrics that have been rejected by voters and harm voter trust.”
“In the primary, our team knocked on thousands of doors, sent multiple direct mail pieces and ran a positive campaign based on the issues important to District 30 voters. I pledge to do the same thing” for the Nov. 6 election, she said. A nurse with more than 35 years’ work in direct patient care, Helton said voters are frustrated by the “hype and mud-slinging that seems to dominate political races today.”
The meeting schedule is: Week of Sept. 17: Maple Street Biscuit, 2114 Gunbarrel Road
Week of Sept. 24: Wally’s Restaurant, 6521 Ringgold Road
Week of Oct. 1: Panera Bread, 1810 Gunbarrel Road
Week of Oct. 8: Wired Coffee, 5707 Main St. in Collegedale
Week of Oct. 15: Chick-fil-A, 5830 Brainerd Road
Exact dates and times will be announced.
District 30 includes East Brainerd, East Ridge, parts of Collegedale, Apison, East Lake, Missionary Ridge and the area on the southern side of Brainerd Road. Early voting begins Oct. 17.
