| Last saturday, Fred Johnson participated in a candidate forum sponsored by Muskegon Community Solidarity. Fred Johnson responded to questions from the audience on a variety of topics, including the economy, health care, and fighting for progressive causes in the 2nd District. Video highlights of the forum have been posted on our website. http://www.fredjohnsonforcongress.com/coverage3.html |
The organizers invited all of the candidates in the district, both Democratic and Republican, to the forum. Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the GOP incumbent, originally said he would attend, but cancelled at the last moment. As a reasult, only the Democratic candidates were present. The event gave many residents of the Muskegon area a chance to hear from and directly question the candidates, and we look forward to doing many more of these events over the course of the campaign. |
