TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) -Incumbent Republican Senator Thad Cochran says having a campaign office in Northeast Mississippi is vital for his re election bid. Thursday afternoon, Senator Cochran attended ribbon cutting ceremonies at his Northeast Mississippi campaign headquarters in Tupelo.

Senator Cochran toured the offices, which will help coordinate campaign efforts for volunteers throughout the area. He also spoke of a challenge to debate issued by his Democratic opponent, Travis Childers.

“I feel like we need to talk about the issues involved in the campaign and I intend to do that, and answer questions from my constituents, but I don’t know that it’s time now to be thinking about a debate with him, I think we will consider any requests he makes.”

The elections are set for November 4th. Senator Cochran says Republicans have a strong chance to get control of the Senate.
