CD 8 Veterans Issues Forum in Sierra Vista

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

The Sierra Vista Herald provided thorough reporting on the veterans Issues forum this past Saturday in Sierra Vista. Unfortunately, the Herald put it behind a "premium member" wall. While I do have the full report, there is no way for me to summarize this lengthy report on the candidates' responses to some nine questions. Suprisingly, the candidates were in general agreement on veterans issues — the candidates differed when they ventured into other related issues.

I will give you the free part of the article and you can decide for yourself whether you want to be a "premium member" of the Sierra Vista Herald. Or maybe you can convince Bill Hess to post the full article in the interest of better informing the public — or maybe he could make it available to his sister publication, the Tucson Weekly, for republication. Barber, Kelly address veterans’ concerns | The Sierra Vista Herald:

SIERRA VISTA — While the Republican and Democratic candidates for the special Congressional District 8 election answered questions pertaining to veterans issues, they were able to incorporate their stump speeches into their responses on Saturday.

Surprisingly  Republican Jesse Kelly and Democrat Ron Barber agreed in many cases in the answers they provided on some of the questions.

It was how they worked in their campaign comments where the differences were noted.
