Interview with Charter Commission Chairman (and City Councilman) Myron Lowery about the City of Memphis Charter Commission. The Charter Commission will present referenda for several Charter amendments to Memphis voters on the November 2008 ballot. Commissioner Lowery gives us insight to the process and discussions that were included in the Charter Commission's deliberations.

For more information on the Charter Commission see the website for Change Memphis, an effort New Path is undertaking with Mid-South Peace and Justice Center and Concerned Memphians United.

Interview with Nikki Tinker, candidate for 9th Congressional District. We ask Ms. Tinker questions about her campaign, issues, and what kind of congressperson she would be. We also give her an opportunity to address some of the questions that have been around since the 2006 campaign.

New Path interviews Congressman Steve Cohen, incumbent candidate for 9th Congressional District. We ask Congressman Cohen about his accomplishments over the last 2 years. We also get a chance to hit on some of the touchy issues that people have been talking to us about.

As you can hear at the beginning of this interview, this was the second interview Congressman Cohen did with New Path. The first was about his status as a Democratic Superdelegate. Due to some technical difficulties, that interview was lost to the technology gremlins. We thank Congressman Cohen for sitting with us for that interview, and regret the loss. It really was a good interview.

Interview with Councilman Myron Lowery about his position as a Superdelegate for the Democratic Party. As discussion late in the campaign centered around whether the Superdelegates might decide the Democratic Presidential nominee of 2008, we interviewed Councilman Lowery about his thoughts. He told us who he was supporting and why.
