2012 Senate Candidate Forum with Rep. Kurt Bills

The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance will sponsor the first of our 2012 candidate forums with Kurt Bills, the Republican candidate for Minnesota's U.S. Senate seat. Rep. Bills will focus on his views of the 6 deficits facing America: budget, jobs, trade, savings, liberty and leadership. 
 
Candidate forums foster informed and substantive discussion of important matters of public policy. The forums create an opportunity for the candidates to rise above the talking points and fractious back-and-forth of the campaign to address the important policy challenges facing Minnesota and the country.
