Pittsburg State CRs host Candidate Forum
On Saturday, May 1, 2010, the Pittsburg State University College Republicans hosted a forum in McCray Hall for candidates running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. Invitations were sent to the two candidates considered viable in this race, Rep. Todd Tiahrt, and Rep. Jerry Moran, both sitting Congressman and from KS-04 and KS-01 Districts, respectively.
Following his pattern of well-documented avoidance of Southeast Kansas, Moran refused to show or even send a representative.
Congressman Tiahrt and his entire debate crew showed up and decorated the entire debate venue with Tiahrt Red signs and banners.
Nearly fifty people and students came to PSU to hear what the candidates had to say, and to personally ask questions. When the great “reluctant Republican” refused to show, Tiahrt was able to offer his plan for Kansas and the nation, unfiltered. As a hardcore Tiahrt supporter, that alone made me very happy.
In all, the event was a great success. The Congressman had a very successful discussion with everyone in the audience, displaying his firm support for fiscal conservatism, life, the War on Terror, immigration reform, and Israel, among others. Many took Tiahrt signs and signed up to support the Congressman in his run for Senate.
