[...] For the second time in as many weeks, the three candidates in the 2nd Congressional District participated in a candidates’ forum. My thanks to the fine people at Second Calvary Baptist Church in Norfolk who not only hosted the debate, but had wireless access which allowed me to broadcast it in its entirety. [...]

The candidates had the opportunity in their closing statements to offer rebuttals.

As I understand it, the LWV debate that is coming up October 9 will be more of a real debate than any others that I’m aware of at this point.

Glad to do it I hope to be able to attend and broadcast every single forum the candidates have – time permitting, of course – so if you hear about a forum, please let me know.

This forum was the best FORUM I have been to in the past year.. Barbara Ciara and the first rate host Second Calvary Baptist Church deserve to be commended for the service they provided to every participant.

Forums are a good venue to hear from the candidates. Unfortunately, Scott Rigell still refuses to DEBATE Kenny Golden and Glenn Nye and has not been held accountable. The stark contrast between a forum and a debate is quite clear yet the gop candidate continues to falsely claim that he is participating in debates. Hopefully upcoming organizers will hold all of the candidates in high enough regard to host a debate.. a formal interactive debate which can only be interpreted as the defined word itself implies, i.e., respectfully engage in spirited arguments by discussing opposing points.

Thank you ever so much for the excellent coverage of this forum. I was unable to attend and truly appreciate your wonderful effort to delver uncensored coverage.
Thank you from both me and Mrs. Erb
