Indiana fifth district congressional seat candidates gathered at Anderson High School Thursday night to discuss policy plans, beliefs and campaign promises.
All four candidates running were present, including the reincubate candidate Victoria Spartz (R), Deborah Pickett (D), Robby Slaughter (I) and Lauri Shillings (L).
The event was hosted by the League of Women Voters from Muncie and Anderson branches. The forum was moderated by Steve Lindell, the vice president of programming for Woof Boom Radio, who also was partnered with the event.
All candidates were allowed one minute to respond to questions that had been submitted and vetted for fairness by the League of Women Voters. All candidates were held to their minute time.
Many topics were discussed by the candidates, including abortion, immigration, gun control, taxes and education.
