Forehand, Kagan Answer Audience Questions (Part Three)

Last Tuesday night, the District 17 Democratic Club held the final debate of the primary campaign between incumbent Sen. Jennie Forehand and challenger, former Del. Cheryl Kagan, at Rockville Memorial Library.

The primary election is September 14.

Rockville Central was there at the debate capturing video, and we have been releasing it in sections over the past few days.

The final audience questions:

• Rockville Pike is in need of safety improvements. Can you do something about it?
• What can either of you tell us about your Republican opponent?
• How do we bridge the geographic gap between where affordable housing is, and where the jobs are?
• What do you have to say about age?
• Should there be a constitutional convention?

Here’s the video:

(Note that there was a video glitch in one question, so I skipped it. That one was a two-part question directed at Kagan and then Forehand. To Kagan it was: Why did you quit being a state delegate and why are you coming back? To Forehand it was: Why do you want to remain a state senator? Also, note that I made a bit of a bobble on the final question, the one about age. So it jumps a bit. Sorry about that!)

The second four audience questions:

• What changes are needed in education?
• What legislation did not pass in 2010 that should be brought up and passed in 2011?
• Can you tell us the sources of your campaign funds?

Forehand, Kagan Respond To Audience Questions

On Tuesday night, the District 17 Democratic Club held the final debate of the primary campaign between incumbent Sen. Jennie Forehand and challenger, former Del. Cheryl Kagan, at Rockville Memorial Library.

The primary election is September 14.

Rockville Central was there at the debate capturing video, and we are releasing it in sections over the next few days.

The first four audience questions:

1. How can Maryland improve our health care rankings?
2. Name an issue that you are passionate about but that gets little attention.
3. Should an extra $300 million of revenue be directed to state workers who have had to go on furloughs?
4. Montgomery is often treated like “Daddy Warbucks.” What can we do about that?

Here’s the video:

Note: you can see I started and stopped the video with each question, so it looks like it jumps from one to the other question. I did not edit out anything of substance; the video includes every question and answer from this section of the debate.

Forehand, Kagan Question Each Other At Debate

On Tuesday night, the District 17 Democratic Club held the final debate of the primary campaign between incumbent Sen. Jennie Forehand and challenger, former Del. Cheryl Kagan, at Rockville Memorial Library.

The primary election is September 14.

While both candidates expressed satisfaction that the exchange was “civil,” it was by no means lacking in heat. While the format guaranteed that (it included a section where the candidates asked each other questions), the substance of the campaign has become contentious as well, with both candidates pointing out criticisms they have of one another.

Rockville Central was there at the debate capturing video, and we will release it in sections over the next few days.

Here’s a compilation of the first main section, the one where Forehand and Kagan question one another.
