I will begin to address these issues in the near future on this forum and at debates throughout the district. I am already scheduled for a debate in Athens, Ohio this fall.

Sincerely,

Dennis Spisak

Thanks Dennis. These are the questions that the editorial boards are going to ask the candidates, and with the election coming up on us, we really do need your views to compare with the spin that the papers are going to put in their endorsements.
