Hi, my name is Adam Swart and I'm a student here at UCLA. Well, I'm excited to help moderate along with Dennis and Jessica. This wonderful congressional debate, it's always good to get a lot of discourse in our meeting. My name is Dennis Marks, I'm the president of the Santa Monica College Lock Club. I'm very excited to be moderating, I think I'm my colleague, so we're going to have a great debate. Hi, I'm Jessica Ramos and I'm a student here at UCLA and an undergraduate student of the United Council. I'm so excited to have the candidates here. Let's get this debate rolling. What makes you uniquely qualified to take on Congress for a election and win when he is served in Congress for a long time and has been perceived pretty widely as being an effective representative for the West Los Angeles area? This is the first election, first general election, whoever the voters choose to have the honor of challenging 37-year incumbent Henry Wackisman is able to draw the clearest contrast possible. My proposal is that we use this new top two primary system with the head-to-head to pioneer the kind of change America really needs and what that kind of change I believe is trans-partisan coalition building. There's a lot of talk about bipartisanship, but if you look at what the Republican Party and Democratic Party have done together, they've been cooperating on pretty much ruining the American Republic, traction, and our economy, our health, and all of that. The pledge is something that I'll make to my fellow candidates up here who have shown a willingness to actually come and engage in conversation. I think you can't have a conversation about which direction the country needs to take if you're not even willing to show up and have that conversation. So my pledge is that after June 5th, when, not if when, one of the five of us takes the second seat against Wackisman, I will support you if you want my support and you know, let's work together. I think that one of the things that I've noticed about, we really don't have a representative now, but about Washington is there's not enough citizen empowerment. It's refreshing to hear libertarian sentiments from both the Green and the Republican. Henry Wackisman has done a very good job from learning how to get reelected. Learning how to get funds from contributors, whether it be pharmaceutical industry, the prison unions, the trial lawyers, we need somebody who's going to stand for all the people and not just the special interests that keep feeding the campaign funds in Henry Wackisman's coffers. I am evidently opposed to the NBA and I would fight against it and I support any kind of efforts to nullify that. Steve has the right idea that our national debt is a problem. Our national debt is a problem because our debt service right now is $220 billion a year. I would be willing to lose my job to make that clear in Congress that I am opposed to this because I don't want to be there forever. I just want to go there, help our country get back on track.
