- Episode Description
- A live debate held on September 25, 1992, in Baton Rouge between eight candidates for the new Fourth Congressional District, Louisiana's second majority African American district, comprising portions of 28 parishes. The eight candidates were: Steve Myers, a businessman from Baton Rouge; Joe Shyne, a Shreveport City Councilman; Ralph Hall, an attorney from Monroe; State Senator Cleo Fields of Baton Rouge; State Senator Charles Jones of Monroe; Faye Williams, an attorney from Alexandria; James Ross, an attorney from Monroe; and Dr. Emile Ventre, a physician from Opelousas. The debate was moderated by Robert Collins and featured questions from a panel of three journalists, Nichele Hoskins of the Shreveport Journal, Jim Leggett of the Alexandria Daily Town Talk, and Ed Pratt of the Baton Rouge Advocate. In lieu of an opening statement, moderator Collins asked each candidate how they would represent all of their constituents in this diverse and complex district. The panel of journalists then asked questions about the following topics: job creation; health care reform; balancing the budget; abortion; welfare reform; school vouchers; and term limits. The debate ended with each candidate's closing statement.
