Each candidate gave an overview of how they first became involved in seeking political office, then presented an overview of their positions on critical issues facing the nation. The majority of the 50 minute session was devoted to answering student questions about such topics as the war in Iraq, ways to resolve the current financial crisis, energy policy, affordable health care, national security issues, stem cell research, and the high cost of college education. Students enjoyed listening to two dynamic candidates who have dedicated themselves to serving the public good. Both candidates seemed to enjoy the thoughtfulness of the questions presented by GBS students.
Thanks to both candidates for spending quality time with our students and presenting their views on the issues.
