Sen. Ellie Kinnaird squared off with challenger Greg Bass at a forum at UNC’s Campus Y on Monday, discussing a wide variety of issues with a handful of students in attendance. The forum was sponsored by the Public Policy Majors Union and the Roosevelt Institute.
This Daily Tar Heel article covers most of the highlights, though I can’t help but point out an error in the story. The article states that Kinnaird walked to the forum from her home. I walked with her to her car as I interviewed her, so that’s not true and I’m not sure how the DTH writer got it.
Another interesting moment at the forum was when Bass picked up on the theme of change that has been so prevalent this election season.
“We need to change things,” he said. “The Democrats have been in charge for the last eight years. It’s got nothing to do with Bush.”
