QUESTION BACK TO EDITORIAL BOARD OF AL.COM

DOES THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF AL.COM THINK THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH CONGRESS THAT CRITICALLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND CONGRESS?

Hey folks,

I know things are heating up even more now that there are 10 days to go. Good luck to all of you, and thank you for your time so far during this race.

I have a few more questions I wanted to throw out. The idea is the same as the foreign relations questions from earlier this week, but these are much quicker, so please respond by Friday afternoon. And there’s really only two of them. Write as much or as little as you need, but more succinct answers are often better… at least, that’s what they tell writers. 2-4 sentences ought to be reasonable, I think.

Question 1: If you are elected to Congress, what are three issues you believe you could realistically work with Democrats on and be able get something accomplished?

Question 2: Name three committees you’d like to serve on, and for each one, tell why. If you want to point me to an answer on your webpage for this one, that’s fine with me, but make sure it includes the ‘why’ aspect.

That’s it. Thanks guys. And thanks for everything so far.
