making sure we are taking care of our veterans, making sure they get quality care and making sure it is accessible in every place they live. i want to make sure that government is accountable, assuring that things get done on time, that we do not have these continuing resolutions that congress does those things and my efforts to make sure we have simple reforms like my bill called no budget, no pay. you do not get a budget done on time, no pay. making sure we stay on schedule, no august recess unless you get ills done. all those things are important, i am honored to have the opportunity to represent folks and they let me know all the time the job they want us to do and they want the work of the nation to get done. they are tired of political divisions, they want to make sure that we are listening to each and every one of the districts and doing the job we were elected to do. town ford of my getting things done and would ask her support for continuing to serve you in the first district. ms. williams: thank you for hosting this event. this is part of our democracy. i am a wife of 25 ye

make improvements we need to make highway 70 more manageable. >> mr. stapleton? >> i think it is important that colorado has a governor that recognize as and i-70 are the life blood of colorado. i believe congressman hollis's view is highway 36. highway 70 is beyond veil -- vale. one of the things that we worked analysis of what colorado spends per mile as opposed to six other -- six to states.her mountain we have found, if we can spend what the other six mountain states around us spent on maintenance and other costs per mile, we could have extra $160 million approximately that we could use for bonding. this is a creative idea that takes leadership from the governor's office instead of reflexively promising things with no way to pay for them, loading up our state with debt and antigovernment promises. he has proposed a $90 million of spending, tripling our state budget obligations and doesn't have as a way to pay for it here -- doesn't have a single way to pay for it. put anotherlature measure on next year's ballot, in 2019, to issue at the $2.6 millio

you make reference to the income scale and claim that teachers make $57,000 a year and you got staff that works in your office that can't afford to live in the city. that is because you are price fixing. you claim that you claiming tax credits and the tax credits that you claiming, like you do it on that apartment building, you claim a federal low income tax credit, got the government thinking that you will house low income bracket people. when you get past that process, you delivery price fix and provide the housing opportunities at 55% of $40,400 a year. that's not fair. and it's outrageous. in fact, you further bolster the point that you need rent control. the professors from uc berkley demonstrated all the details as follows. further, uc berkley for housing fair and inclusive society shows that rent control policies are the key to stabilizing the state's housing crisis. the research found that rent control, when a supplied with other housing policy, can prevent housing costs from spiraling out of control and forcing families to leave their communities. yet you don't follow this i

we need to make sure we address labor crisis and make sure we get people to work. we didn't say give us your doctors and your lawyers wanting to be free, work ethic is a skill set. and senator, again, it is literally your job over the past 18 years that you have been in the senate, and the 20 years that you have been in washington to have gotten this through. there are people who are relying on you, and now it is time to get somebody to washington who will work with anyone to get this done. this is not a political issue. i believe that this is a leadership issue. if we want someone who will finally get this done, if you are tired of waiting for comprehensive immigration reform, start sending people to washington who aren't going to talk about partisanship, but leadership. we hear a lot about bipartisanship, and we see that we have people pointing the finger in both directions and nothing is getting done. if you want more of the same, then vote for my opponent. if you would like change, and change now, and not just wait for the next six years until we have another p

that is something that i will use to my utmost as your next governor to make the case, to make a strong case of why it is so important to not only avoid tobacco products, but all kinds of illicit from harmful drugs. >> does that answer question? mr. starnes? mr. starnes: i want to bring your attention to the new measure the corporate stores are trying to get us to vote on. i will vote against it, because tax we havehe sin in place on alcohol and secrets that helps fight addiction. >> annex question -- our next question? >> our next question or is 60 and from portland. he wants to talk about them control. >> my question is for governor brown and representative buehler . since kids don't have the right to vote, it is the adult' job to advance her interest was however, they are putting their selfish needs ahead of them as they don't want to lose their guns. i know you have supported some gun restrictions, but i want to know what more you will do to stop the senseless violence. >> governor brown? gov. brown: yes, the last time i was here and roosevelt come i was here for the march for our l

we need to make it a priority. it's not a priority by saying it, it's a priority by putting the budget dollars behind it. she has been putting about 1.3 percent average increase in the money that goes into the school buildings. that's for seven years. moderator: that's your time, 30 seconds for a rebuttal governor reynolds: governor reynolds:. we have more kids taking community college classes which is helping keep the cost of higher education down. we are helping kids find out where they have a ashen and -- were they have a passion and are interested and sometimes that's for years and sometimes it's two years. there is a lot of opportunity that exist within the state. we are investing in education, fred. i am proud of that investment and we will continue to make it a priority. of new money, $3.2 billion in $765 million k-12 education out of a $7.5 billion budget. mr. hubbell: for the last three years in a row, this administration and the prior administration have cut the budget for schools, cut the budget for comm

as well as making sure we work to get funding for the federal government to make sure we can make themprovements we need to make highway 70 more manageable. mr. stapleton: i think it's important colorado have a governor that recognizes i 25 and i 70 are the lifeblood of colorado. congressman polis, his -- of colorado. i believe congressman paul is, his view of colorado is highway 30 -- 36. my view is i-70 goes far beyond the veil and we need to fund i-70 and i 25. they didn't have the time to say this in the last question, but one of the things we worked on its an analysis of what colorado spends per mile, as opposed to 6-8 other mountain states. we have found that if we can spend with the other six mountain states around us spend on maintenance and other costs per mile, we have an extra $60 -- 160 million dollars approximately we could use for bonding. this is a creative idea that takes leadership from the governor's office in the past instead of promising things with no way to pay for them, loading up the state with debt, and antigovernment promises like congressman polis wants to d

in bad years, they make less. in good years, maybe they make more.hey are the ones putting food on the table for their employees. making sure they are paid first. that is 90% of our businesses out there. sen. warren: that's the problem. the tax cut was not about 90% of our businesses. it was about the giant businesses. it was about the billionaires. those are the ones who have walked off with the big money. and they have left everyone else behind. employees' wages have not gone up because of this tax cut. in fact, what has happened because of this tax cut is that now there is less money for the things we need. republicans are coming after social security. there is no money to invest in education. mr. diehl: we are living in two different worlds. sen. warren:no money to invest infrastructure. mr. diehl: you haven't seen the european union renegotiate trade deals. canada and mexico. china is -- we're getting to the point where the united states is actually economically so prosperous, we are back in control of our future. sen. warren: you are going to t

you betcha i'll make sure. i'll tell you you were in the legislature as unemployment went up, when crime went up waft cuts -- because of the cuts you did, because you spent the time cutting those budgets and that's why we are where we are today. >> mr. dunleavy. >> crime did not go up because of the legislature. crime went up because of mismanagement over the past three to four years in the current administration. management is the key to making sure that we have the focus, we're going to put the focus on public safety as job number one. not all budgetary items are equal. you cannot compare a fast rail study to having more troopers. under my administration and again, the troopers endorsed me, under my administration, public safety will be job 1. >> our state has the dubious distinction of having the highest rates in the nation in sexual assaults, domestic violence and suicide. why do you think alaska is always at the top of these lists and as governor, what can you do about it? mr. dunleavy. mr. dunlevy: so i'm

make texas better. sheriff valdez: so you are saying that if they donate to you, it does not matter? gov. abbott: i could care less if anyone donates to me. my job is to make sure the state of texas is run well. >> thank you. we are hoping you are enjoying tonight's debate wherever you're watching in the entire state of texas. you can follow #txgov debate and find links for a focus group. they are grading the candidates performances. you also find supplemental information and all of our questions we're asking. now back to steve will be asking the first of our individual questions of each candidate. >> governor abbott, you call a special session in 2017. one of the items on the agenda was legislation regarding bathroom privacy, which requires public school students to use the bathrooms based on their birth sex. there have been a number of issues raised with the measure, from businesses worried about boycotts and the texas economy, to the speaker of the house worried about the personal cost, saying i do n

there has to be another option that makes incentive for companies to drive prices downward and not make a buck off people. the only way congress will be able to delve a way forward on this is to not have people under the influence of big pharma and insurance companies, something my opponent is under the influence of and i am not. moderator: jim hagedorn, let's move on with letting people buy into medicare. mr. hagedorn: it will destroy medicare, for one thing. the system is about bankrupt now so you will add to it. ok, take it to him -- wherever you want, but that is my contention. socialized medicine, universal health care, single-payer, whatever you want to call it, is going to destroy medicine as we know it. medicine as you know it. it will make sure we have inferior medical quality. medical innovation will suffer. if you want people -- more people on medicare, guess what. the mayo clinic and fine institutions of medicine will be reimbursed at $.50 on the dollar. they can't sustain the model. if you do this, it will destroy the progress and growth in rochester, minnesota and much of

an effort to do so to make sure people in the u.s. navy are becoming energy independent champion those technologies but if you're opening premise that i don't believe that we have another thing coming because i would like you to give a response to the chairman of joint chief of staff. >> what you believe in it or not doesn't matter it's what you do about if it's a problem and made what do you do about it? a lot of people out there on the left say relocate and make changes but to transform our energy sector and turned the economy upside down over the premise that at some point the world comes to an end? know. i don't agree with that but to be destabilizing for the economy driving up the cost for everybody in our country. my money - - i support energy independence for the united states that means all of the above approach i don't believe dan understands the issue because we are energy independent for every source except crude oil's ability to become independent is to drill for more crude oil and the trunk administration has done a good

>> we are always going to go on the choice that makes things -- that makes people better. the dreamers have been here. they were raised here. they go to school here. they have jobs here. they are teachers, our doctors, our plumbers. and this is the only country that they know. i believe in a path for citizenship for the dreamers. therefore, we need to prepare them to be here and be educated. public education is an equalizer. all the way up to college, it is an equalizer, and we need to be able to give them the opportunities that they need so they can go on being an asset to the community. -- they were currently are currently employers, and they continue to benefit the community, and we need to make sure that they get the best that they can in order to be productive in the community. >> governor, in 2014 you told as tribune you would veto -- >> the legislators who passed that green act, they had a noble cause behind what they were seeking to do, but there was a flaw in the structure of the law that passed. the law that passed said these students who received in-state tuitio

we have to make sure that is upheld. when it comes to women's health issues, the same thing in the statehouse, we are going to see in congress as well, you better make sure those decisions are between a woman and her doctor. i'll tell you, i heard some her breaking stories from women who were coming under attack in the state of iowa who were especially, some of the hardest decisions in their life may find out there baby survives their station. they were watching the government put themselves in their doctor's offices, making those decisions for them. that's not how this is supposed to work. i trust doctors, i trust women and these decisions should be made between the two of them. i truly believe that but it's something that is a respect issue. i respect everybody's issue on the issue as well. it means a lot. i did it, why not with it and where i stand is that this should be between a woman and her doctor and you should have respect for those decisions and uphold roe v. wade. : : : . >> 20 times more community health cent

don't think this election does not make a difference, your vote doesn't make a difference. but i want to go back to the as -- those ads those republicans are running, because i want you to think about this for a second. your governor has been running an ad during election time saying he's going to protect pre-existing conditions when he is literally doing the opposite. that is some kind of gall. that is some kind of chutzpah. but let's also call it what it is. it is a lie. and that brings us to a bigger question about this election. who are we? what kind of politics do we want to see? what kind of accountability do we expect from our elected officials? it is one thing to have a legitimate policy difference, but if you take one position, then you should be held accountable for the position that you take. you cannot suddenly pretend that you did not take that position because it is politically expedient. you cannot just lie about it. [cheers] mr. obama: look, look, throughout human history, certainly throughout american history, politicians have exaggerated. they make promise

we got to make sure we make the investment in homeland security and make sure they have the resourcesis a member of congress i visited with many of those working on the front lines but i don't think i will walk away from the statement about the nga. i worked with democrats and republicans alike. i worked with senator dick durbin. if i failed he failed and he will be glad to hear he recruited you and failed. let me tell you what i told them, how important it was to have a near scott air force base, it is vitally important because that is our mapping for all our war fighters, vitally important but it is not secure where they are putting us in st. louis and it has been caught in legal battles but let me tell you the person who made the decision on where it went is the same guy that endorsed you, barack obama. that is fact about what happened at the nga. i will fight to get there, hope you join me. i hope you do because everybody else, democrat and republican alike, doing it. >> moderator: next question from jennifer fuller to randy auxier. >> this question is inspired by several question

making investments investments for companies easier and empowering them to make good choices. and that's the message. the message isn't to have a political conversation. the economics have borne out for us. >> i have a quick question. so one of the things we are seeing in congress is rural broadband divide and urban roadband divide, should we buy ore fiber. this gentleman in the back, the one with the blue shirt, raise your happened and we'll return to this young lady in the gray, this gentleman here and do a time check. >> carl with communications daily. i was curious if you have been following the senate hearings on privacy and any consensus between republicans and democrats as well as industry and privacy experts? >> i have been following the hearings, of course. a number of americans have. the thought that we are having this there is some level of consensus and what we are seeing play out in our comment process and our meetings on these issues shows there is some level of consensus that we should be having this conversation. on what to do, it is too early to tell. there is

we have got to make sure we make the investment in homeland security and make sure they have the resources. as your member of congress i visited with many of those who are working on the front lines of that. i don't think i'm going to walk away from the statement about the nga because i worked with democrats and republicans alike. i worked with senator durbin so if i fail he fails. let me tell you what i told them how important it was to have them write near scott air force base. it is vitally important because that's our mapping for all of our warfighters vitally important but it's not secure -- whether they are putting it in st. louis. caught in legal battles that left me tell you the person who made the decision on where it went is the same that endorsed you, barack obama and that is the fact about what happened. i want to bring them back. i hope you join me. democrats and republicans alike. and i hope you will join me. moderator the next question is : from jennifer fuller. jennifer: many area medical providers direct their physicians not to prescribe cannabis because of federal regulat

that's how we are going to make a difference. that's how we are going to make sure that we are going to more college graduations than funerals. that's how we are really going to make san francisco a better place. you know, yesterday, i was down in the tenderloin, talking to some folks down there, and i ran into a lot of people who i've -- i've known for so many years when i was a kid -- friends, friends moms, and other people who are struggling, and i don't want that to happen to the next generations of san franciscans, young people growing up in this city. so i am committed today to adding these opportunities so that no child is left behind. and i am looking forward to the work that i know we all are going to do together to make sure that every hol studeigh sc student in san francisco has a paid internship. that is the start of this program today, and i am so excited in partnering with so many people to make this possible. lastly -- i can go on and on, as you know. politicians. i just remember when i was fortunate enough at age

it is complicated that you think it would make it safer? >>lujan grisham: more law enforcement officers and better collaboration. i know you want me to be brief tough and smart and safe. the fact we don't collaborate with law enforcement jurisdictions we need to share intelligence so those that are engaged in this area like human trafficking, drugs , property the crime go after those bad actors we just keep repeating the same problems we need much better cooperation tough and smart and safe. >> the same thing you would do spin a cold convicted criminals in jail. have to apologize to the aclu that would turn everybody loose after 30 years and to me that says some people have not been rehabilitated. in fact in the justice system say some are not able to be rehabilitated so we put them back. the judges will tell us we don't have enough cells so we have to turn people loose. so to make space available is i would stop recycling or send people back and give them a place to live in the job then not as many will go back. we have already started the

i want to make sure they never have to make a decision between putting food on the table are keeping the lights on and ensuring that the families are healthy. mean reestablishing the mandate, does that mean medicare for all? the axne: sure enough affordable care act, by keeping our kids on plans until their 26, covering pre-existing conditions, and the ability to negotiate the cost of description drugs and lower prices. i have also introduced a public option so that everybody has an opportunity for an effective, affordable plan. >> what are your views on the farm bureau health plan that congressman young has commented on? rep. axne: this plan is not good for iowans. it does not cover people with pre-existing conditions. a lot of plans are out there that provide very little coverage and don't do much to help people, and this is another one that does that. >> one final question to congressman young. what do you say to individual iowans who are trying to buy an individual policy for themselves and their family, and they look at this farm bureau plan as their only option. rep. young: it

make sure every student graduates.that every graduate has a game plan for their career and we keep our graduates here in wisconsin. we want to make it easier for working families to enter the work force and keep taxes down while improving quality in the state. >> tony: women should vote for me for several reasons but education is one. i know how important a solid education is for moms and dods dads. it's been something very important to kathy and our three children. so we're going to have an education system we can be proud of, but the other issue is around health. women's health has been under attack in the state of wisconsin. we've been taking away all sorts of rights and responsibilities that should be the decision of a woman and her physician. >> that takesuts to your closing statements. and by the coin toss, mr. evers you're first with a two-minute close. >> tony: first of all i'd like to thank the group for the graduate opportunity to answer these questions. and also, the viewing audience. it's its been a pleasur

we don't want to make those who are forced to make decisions that they are not ready to make, their needing of growth nd energy. we need energy to be as clean as possible. i'm sorry, i did not realize i had gone over. did i have a time -- mr. camden: we are not timing these, but we are giving both candidates equal time. was president trump right to pull the u.s. out of the paris climate accords? and are governors, like governor jay inslee on the west coast, were they correct in trying to have their states meet those requirements? senator? sen. cantwell: i disagree with pulling out of the paris climate agreement. one of our leading citizens in our state, bill gates, made a major economic investment and tried to get the rest of the world, the best scientists and investors in innovation that are going to help us deal with this problem in the future. i definitely believe in a more collaborative approach. here was bill gates waiting for the united states to continue that effort so he could continue on the innovation side. when the president said, we are not going to support that, it is not worki

there is no more important from the government can make to make sure we have clean air and clean water. unfortunately under this administration, they turn over the epa -- they turned over the in pa -- they turned over the epa. it is dangerous to people in new hampshire. we should protect public safety and we need to do something about the danger they pose. >> what would you do, mr. edwards? mr. edwards: we should guarantee turns on thearent fossa, the water is safe for their family. sure that water is safe. we can do that by making sure we have the right information. i think the cdc has said the levels should be seven to 10. there are people who have called on the epa to set a national standard for everyone. that is troubling because new hampshire has to have the flexibility to address our local concerns. we should be able to address our local concerns without a national standard. addressing this issue, we should have the resources to guarantee parents and citizens that they will have claimed drinking water. moderator: next question? issue has divisive been the abortion issue. mr. edwa

who make it work.hen i get up every day, i'm ready for that fight for ohio workers. punch a clock, whether you swipe a badge you , work for tips or for a salary, whether you're raising children or whether you're taking care of an aging parent. people are angry because people have seen what this country has done, what this government has done. i talk to people all the time at the grocery store, picking a big prescription for connie, at a school or an office building. people are angry because they see years of trade and tax policy that shut down production in dayton and youngstown and move it overseas in the collect the tax break. they have seen a tax bill jam med through congress by and for the millionaires and billionaires and then republican leaders say you pay for this tax cut by cutting social security and raising eligibility age for medicare. people believe this government -- they think the system is rigged. they seem the special interest s in washington having the loopholes and their lawyers and t

i make no apologies for that. if the congress will start doing the same thing from time to time, we would have a better country. >> thank you. >> president trump often refers to the press as the enemy of the people. do you agree with that assessment and what role do you think a free press should play in society? >> i do not think the press is the enemy of the people. i think it's vitally important. one of the things that has captured a lot of importance lately is what has been happening on social media. looking how they are prioritizing and sensing, looking at how they are blocking the ability of individuals when they go into their search engine and do a search. prioritizing and pushing forwar forward. do not bring your bias to the workplace. an era when so many people are getting their information online, whether it's through podcast like you have all started doing, then we need to make certain it is something that is protected. >> of course the free press is not the enemy of the people. i think many of us in the

no more important process that our government can make than to make sure we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. unfortunately, under this administration, they had turned over the epa to the big polluters. in coal lobbyists now charge. loosen regulations around midwest coal burning power plants. they have loosened regulations around mercury emissions. that is dangerous to people here in new hampshire. we should protect public health and public safety. we need to do something about the danger that they -- they pose. >> what would you do? should be able to guarantee is government. without apparent -- apparent terms on the bosses. the water coming up is clearly safe. also, the family members as well. we will make sure that water is safe. we can do that by making sure that we have the right information. timely information. the cdc has said that the levels should be seven to 10. the prior studies said 70 was good enough. there's people calling on the epa to set a national standard for everyone. that is troubling because new hampshire has to have the flexibility to address ou

we could barely make ends meet. knew that student debt was out there and needed to get through school. we have used student debt in so many of the wrong ways, kids are coming out of college without a degree with student debt and at the same time, there are people who are having so much student debt coming out of college, they can't afford to pay it back. i do think we need to look at the entire system. this is a system that's been built for years by career politicians like sherrod brown who continue to just say, we got to have student loans. we have got to refine the system. we got to make sure that student loans are used properly. when i went to school it was for books and the tuition. today's student loan is growing too big of a number and it's because we have allowed the federal government to continue to say, use these loans for everything. let's make sure we're looking at these student loans. let's make sure we're giving programs to forgive -- ann: thank you. senator brown. sen. brown: so many people with huge s

it doesn't make sense.orld, it's not a revenue problem, it is a spending problem to we have not lived within our means for years. bill called the penny plan. 1%. who would know if you are missing that? the president asked all agencies to cut back 5%. any business, you would do it. the senator has been part of a system that has given us all these bad results and the other thing i would do, anybody that has been there does not deserve a congressional pension or a fancy health care plan, they ought to be on the same thing that everybody else is come that is where you would start. mrs. brenton: blah blah blah. reduce spending. lower taxes. what does all of this mean in the context of the last 150 years of republican and democrat domination in our society? it doesn't mean anything. they talk about this, but as soon as they get elected it doesn't matter whether they are in a red or a blue shirt, they still vote to raise your taxes. hack atant to actually the roots of evil? you've got to end the biggest part of ou

you seek to make cuts in any of those three areas or conversely take from the other 10 percent to make those cuts for those tax cuts that you plan quick. >> we didn't cut education especially k-12 so we will continue with our priorities which is education public safety 80 percent of the budget is attributable to department of human services and all of education we will continue to invest in our priorities and we have i'm proud of our investment especially k-12 education we are fourth in the country and eight in teacher salary and nationally recognized stem program and we will continue to make sure our kids are prepared for the jobs of today and tomorrow. >> mister hubbell i asked about specific spending and if you would push for those tax cuts only for middle-class iowans and can you commit on this stage tonight you will push for tax cuts for those two groups but also repeal for all other group groups? hubbell: to have a balanced budget that is predictable we will fund priorities then show me your budget i will show you your priorities this governor talks about education health care an
