As part of the Conversations with Candidates voter education series that North Country Matters does each fall, they recently brought the two Assembly candidates for the 116th “River District” into the studio to discuss some of the issues in the campaign.
The 116th takes in the northernmost townships of Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties and is the largest of the four Assembly districts that serve St. Lawrence County.
Conversations with Candidates are designed to provide voter education that thoughtfully and civilly discusses issues of public policy and governance vital to our community. These non-partisan Conversations invite a candidate to explain his or her positions, records, and ideas outside of the 30-second campaign ad and the discussion constrains of the debate format.
The 116th candidates talk about economic issues, living wages in the North Country, child care, health care, climate change, Fort Drum and voter reform and modernization in New York State.
Addie Jenne is the incumbent running to retain her seat the NYS Assembly. The YouTube link for this show, recorded on Oct. 11, is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsZ5bT2Ai5Q
