Oct. 18, 2016

Ten candidates for state, federal and judicial offices on the Nov. 8 ballot got 2 minutes each to make their pitch. But Forum participants’ concerns, anxieties and needling questions about presidential candidate Donald Trump dominated the Q&A.

Quipped N.C. Treasurer candidate Dan Blue, “I knew the coffee was hot. I wasn’t prepared for the conversation to be so hot.”

The Forum began with a report by the Community Relations Committee’s Council of Elders on their work. That material is here.

The candidates’ presentations begin at minute 36:30. The Q&A runs from 57:40 through 1:57:00.
