Call with the Candidate Coming Up on Tuesday
Washington,
DC (November 12, 2015) – Presidential candidate Gov. Jeb Bush will address and
answer questions from members of a coalition of major nationwide business
groups in a TeleForum next Tuesday, November 17. Bush is the second leading presidential
candidate to accept the invitation to speak to members of the Associated Builders
and Contractors, the Associated General Contractors, the Business-Industry
Political Action Committee, the National Association of Manufacturers, the National
Federation of Independent Business, and the National Retail Federation.
Bush
will directly address questions in a call that will start at 12:35 p.m. EST and
will last approximately 45 minutes. Members of the media are invited to listen
in on the session and report on the questions and answers. To participate,
press should send an e-mail to [email protected] with
their media outlet clearly identified. A link to listen live online will be
sent shortly before the call starts. Those who signed up for the previous call
with Sen. Marco Rubio will automatically be on the list of invited media.
The
other candidates still invited to speak with the groups are (in alphabetical
order):
- Dr. Ben
Carson - Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - Senator
Ted Cruz - Former HP
CEO Carly Fiorina - Former
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee - Ohio
Governor John Kasich - Senator
Bernie Sanders - Businessman
Donald Trump
The
candidates qualified for the initial invitation by maintaining at least 4
percent in the Real Clear Politics average of polls during the period starting
from the first GOP debate and ending on Labor Day. Should additional candidates
average at least 4 percent for a 30-day time period prior to the start of voting,
an invitation to participate will be sent to them. The groups collectively
dialed over 60,000 members for a previous call with Sen. Marco Rubio.
