AL.com hosted the debate between the Democratic and Republican nominees for the Nov. 5 election.
Republican Caroleene Dobson and Democrat Shomari Figures squared off in a one-hour debate hosted by AL.com today, with their closely watched election in Alabama’s redrawn 2nd Congressional District less than four weeks away.
“My opponent argues that that he should be elected because he understands how Washington works,” Dobson said. “Well, the truth is, Washington hasn’t been working for Alabama families. I want to ask those of you watching a few questions.
The debate was sponsored by AARP, which has a proud 34-year history of non-partisan voter engagement and providing voters with information on where the candidates stand on issues important to its members and their families so they can make their own decisions on Election Day.
