Rene Hoyos challenger to Freshman Congressman Tim Burchett of TN Second Congressional District continued her virtual town hall knittin’ & Politickin’ with Knox County Commission candidates Todd Frommeyer of the Fourth District and Kimberly Peterson of the Fifth District. The forum can be found and viewed here.

I am a firm believer in every candidate having an opponent, one in the primary and in the general. Kudos to any and all that subject themselves to “the arena”.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt April 23, 1910
