The first of six forums from the USA TODAY Network Tennessee, the University of Tennessee and Lipscomb University begins tonight at 6 p.m. EDT on UT’s campus in Knoxville. Each forum will focus on gubernatorial and congressional candidates and will be held in-person as well as live-streamed on the Tennessean’s website. Tonight’s guests will feature a one-on-one conversation between Gov. Bill Lee and Tennessean editor Michael Anastasi, a discussion between Democratic gubernatorial candidates Carnita Atwater, Jason Martin and JB Smiley, moderated by UT President Randy Boyd, and a conversation with Democratic candidates Cameron Parsons and Mark Harmon, running for congressional seats in Districts 1 and 2, respectively. The live events are free but require tickets. The next forum will be held at Lipscomb on May 19 at 7 p.m. CDT. Read the full forum schedule.
