During a contentious phone call, I told Gerard Cadet as forcefully as he had warned me that he has the right to have his preferred candidate not show up to our District 45 Candidate debate, just as we have a right to go on with our event regardless of his wishes. I also told him that his move is bush league and ended by reminding him of what happened in Georgia when incumbent David Perdue skipped the debate with challenger Jon Ossoff.
