Republican Candidates Truitt and Brown Share Views through Candidate Forum

During a candidate forum in Lafayette, both Republican candidates were able to share their stance on the important issues facing locals. Candidate Randy Truitt spoke about his stance on school funding. He will face Democrat John Polles in the District 26 race. 

"I think when you look at education funding we've all ready the recent reports that $0.61 of every dollar goes back into the classroom.  I personally find that unacceptable," said Randy Truitt.

Representative Tim Brown emphasized the need to become more energy efficient.  His opponent for the District 41 seat is James Stytle.

"The state needs to lead by example and build more energy efficient buildings and to use more flex fuel vehicles.  We are only at 20% now of what were we at four years ago.  We've made great strides in the past 4 years in an energy push," said Brown.
