APGov: Rare Extra Credit Opportunity

Extra credit opportunities are very rare in APGov, but I've found a great event that's worthy of some extra credit.  From the WL Young Democrats:

The WL Young Dems and YHS Young Dems/ Teenage Republicans are working on sponsoring a debate for several candidates.  

The debate is going to be held at Yorktown High School at 7pm on October 11.  It will be open to the entire community, however, it will be run by student moderators and questions will only come from students.  We are trying to get as many students as possible to be there, and there will also be a voter registration drive taking place outside the auditorium.

We are still waiting on Bob Brink, Barbara Favola, and Caren Merrick to RSVP, however, we have reason to be optimistic that they will join us.

I was hoping that the government teachers at WL could have students submit questions for the debate.  Questions may be directed at a certain race, or just questions in general that we can ask any of the candidates.

Attending:

House of Delegates 48th DistrictJanet Murphy (IG)
Kathy D. Gillette-Mallard (I)
Bob Brink (D) -- Maybe attending

Senate of Virginia 32nd DistrictPatrick Forrest (R)
Janet Howell (D)

Senate of Virginia 31st DistrictCaren Merrick (R)
Barbara Favola (D)

Also, many elected officials who are running unoposed will be there and will be able to mingle and talk to students before/after.


Questions should be submitted to WLYoungDemocrats@gmail.com.  If your question is asked at the candidate debate you will receive extra credit on the Ch. 12 Exam.  Think about submitting questions that would be relevant to students like you.  If you attend the debate, you will also receive extra credit on the Ch. 12 Exam.  You will have to submit proof of attendance to me for the  extra credit.
