As a resident of the 7th, I've been disappointed that Cantor has repeatedly refused to engage in a debate with his opponents. How will you prevent him from successfully dodging this important aspect of the election process?

Don't ever say that again.

Hey Josh. I saw the photo of your girls on your Twitter account. I have two girls around the same ages and couldn't imagine traveling as much as you do. How do you keep up as a family? Bedtime stories over Skype?

After reading through his 'About me' section on his website, I found it incredibly lacking in detail. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for short and sweet statements on one's positions but as a resident of the 7th, I need to know a heck of a lot more than "I'm Pro Medicare & Medicaid".

I'm for some form of social safety net as well but status quo isn't good enough. I need someone in Washington who's capable of having grown-up conversations with others about reducing our deficit, which may mean drastic changes to the way we fund these and other programs.

That said, simply running against Cantor has secured my vote for Mr. Powell.

Your website states that you're "Pro Medicare & Medicaid" and "Pro Social Security" but doesn't go into any details. Can you address whether or not you support modification of these programs as a means of cutting the tremendous deficit run up by the Federal government? If you do support modifying these programs, can you lay out what changes you would and wouldn't support?
