From the transcript
And so I really appreciate everyone for, for helping out. So at this time, I've mentioned that we're going to have House District 36 go first, and then we'll have a little time in between before the governor candidates jump on, and we'll have introductions, we'll have 3 of the most important questions, which the candidates will have a minute and a half to answer those, and we will have also some 1-minute, 2 1-minute questions, and then 2 minutes of closing comments. So at this time, I'd like to invite our 2 candidates for House District 36 for their cameras to be turned on. And as many of you know, you might be thinking, why House House District 36 only. It's the only non-statewide race that we're highlighting in our candidate forum series, and it's because the majority of our villages are in House District 36.
