Unfortunately the candidates were only given 25 minutes to debate, so they weren't able to discuss other issues such as Obamacare, immigration, and only briefly on taxes and the economy.
Equal pay - Aimee Belgard supports the Equal Pay Act for women claiming that it is needed because women only make 78% of what men make. Tom Macarthur responded by saying that we already have laws on the books that demand equal pay for the same work.
ISIS in Iraq and Syria - Both candidates believe that Barack Obama has acted too slowly in responding to ISIS. MaCarthur also pointed out that Obama was wrong for not leaving a residual force in Iraq.
Attack Ads - MaCarthur grilled Belgard for attack ads that he claimed were false. He pointed out that the ads were forced to be taken down and that they were considered to be untrue by factcheck.org. In spite of this, Aimee Belgard says the ads raise a good point called MacAarthur a natural disaster profiteer.
Polls have been scarce to come by for this race. One poll had the race dead even at 42% and another had MacArthur with a 43 - 40 percent lead. Here is your chance to be heard. Please comment as well.
