Fairfax, Va.–Tonight, the Fairfax Family Forum, an affiliate of the Family Foundation of Virginia hosted a candidate forum for the public to hear from those seeking the 37th State Senate seat. Both Steve Hunt and Dave Marsden are seeking the seat. Hunt will be the only candidate present at the forum, as Marsden did not respond to the invitation from the Fairfax Family Forum to speak at tonight’s event. Below is the live feed coverage (since I recorded the event from my iPhone, the visual quality is not as great as I would have liked).

After thoughts: The forum ended shortly after 8:30 p.m. I had an opportunity to speak with Hunt after the event and asked him about his thoughts on transparency, as it is an issue, which is beginning to gain steam, not only on the federal, but state levels. Hunt believed we need to enact legislation that makes each state agency place how much they spend online in a format that is easy for the public to understand.
