For the Q&A period, I will moderate, I'll ask the audanice to write questions on index cards perovided. Questions should be directed to speffic candidates or races. I will make sure all candidates get the same number of question and that all attending State Committee members get the oppertunity to ask at least one question. Questions all candidates running for the same posision will have an opperunity to respond to questions targeted towards their race.
