TUPELO â¢Â Todd Jordan and Victor Fleitas, Tupeloâs two mayoral candidates, painted different pictures of how they would respond to any future potential pandemic and how they would pick the cityâs new police chief, during a Thursday night forum at the Link Centre in Tupelo.
Jordan, the Republican candidate, and Fleitas, the Democratic candidate, answered questions related to health care, economic development and education.
When asked if he would be willing to enact any local health protocols to prevent the spread of a deadly pandemic, Jordan stopped short of fully committing to the proposal. Instead, he said said he would study where the severity of a threat was concentrated.
