By Angela Hatton

Paris, TN – The two candidates vying for West Tennessee's 75th State Congressional Seat squared off in their only debate this week in Henry County. The Paris Post Intelligencer reports Democratic incumbent Willie Butch Borchet and challenger Tim Wirgau met in front of an estimated 120 people at the Henry Civic Center. Borchet says roads, economic development, and education are his top issues. Wirgau also lists the economy and education among his top issues and says voters are also concerned about the outcome of the presidential election.
