Incumbent and Republican Roger Kane and Democrat challenger
Heather Hensley touch on a number of topics during the 30-minute political and
public affairs program that kicks off at 9:30 a.m.
The show, which was taped on Wednesday, features a panel
comprised of Don Bosch, an attorney and Democrat, Susan Williams, a Republican
and public relations specialist, and 10News reporter Mike Donila.
WBIR anchor John Becker serves as the show’s moderator.
Kane, an insurance agent who has held the seat since 2012,
and Hensley, a registered nurse, discuss a range of matters the General
Assembly expects to act on when the body meets again in January.
Issues include: health care and Insure Tennessee, the state’s
failed version of the Affordable Healthcare Act; desperately needed road
repairs; whether a gas tax increase is warranted; and just how much oversight
the General Assembly should have over the University of Tennessee.
The 89th District is sandwiched between Oak Ridge at the
north and I-40 at the south and includes roughly 65,000 residents.
Early voting has already started for the Nov. 8 general election.
