Candidate Forum Video

The Center for Michigan and PBS offered State Rep candidates the opportunity to debate each other so residents of our respective districts would know where each candidate stands on the issues. My opponent did not respond to PBS for a debate. For candidates who's opponents would not debate them, PBS and The Center for Michigan set up Candidate Forums where those specific candidates would sit with others who were also running to discuss the issues. The video for the Candidate Forum I participated in is below.
