Candidate Forums for August Primary

Intro: Wiki as brainstorming space

Let's think of this wiki first of all as a place to write down as many questions as possible.  We can prune the list later, and the evening's moderator can prioritize questions as she sees fit.  Each forum will also include many audience questions as well. -Rachel

Questions: State Legislators (Mo Senate 19th, Mo House 23rd, 25th) - 7/10/08

Can you think of a person now in the state legislature or elsewhere in public life whom you consider a positive role model for other people serving in the legislature, including yourself?

Can you think of a law recently enacted in another state that you would want to either encourage or discourage Missouri to adopt?

Questions: Boone County Public Administrator - 7/24/08

Questions: Boone County Commissioner - 7/24/08

Questions: Boone County Assessor - 7/24/08

Questions: 9th Congressional District (date to be determined)

What 1-3 legislative issues do you think you're likely to see that will have the most direct impact on life in rural districts in Missouri's 9th Congressional District?

How do you think your work in Congress will be affected by the likelihood of Missouri's 9th District disappearing as a result of the population-based redistribution of Congressional seats?
