Maricopa County Democratic Party Chairperson Steven Slugocki hosted a candidate forum for the four Democrats running for the party’s nomination to run against ethically embattled-town hall adverse incumbent David Schweikert in Congressional District (CD) Six.
The four candidates are (alphabetically:)
- Karl Gentles.
- Anita Malik (the 2018 Democratic Nominee for CD Six.)
- Stephanie Rimmer.
- Dr. Hiral Tipirneni (the 2018 Democratic Nominee for CD Eight.)
Most political pundits see Congressional District Six, with its changing demographics and Mr. Schweikert facing ethical inquiries as a major pickup opportunity for Democrats.
Commenting on hosting the forum, Chairperson Slugocki wrote:
“We are proud to do this forum with our four great candidates. They each have unique strengths and we are excited to present them to the voters of CD Six. We are confident whoever wins the primary will win in November and represent District Six much better than Schweikert ever has. We hope the voters will enjoy this forum and we look forward to winning together in November!”
During the forum each candidate discussed:
- Their qualifications and reasons for running for Congress.
- How they would handle assisting small businesses and individuals during the Coronavirus.
- What they would do to combat climate change.
- How they would make health care more accessible and affordable.
- The most important issues facing CD Six.
Please see the video below to see the four candidates discuss the issues facing CD Six, Arizona, and the nation.
