We are so glad thaw are here to look forward to a terrific debate here tonight. Now, before we begin, a quick note on some of the ground rules. Each candidate will have one minute to answer the question posed to them, followed by a one minute response, or rebuttal. And, to the candidate the personal message from me i hope to cover a lot of ground here tonight, and so, i hope you wont think that im disrespectful if i really try to hold you to your time limits, and i will need your help and would appreciate your help with that. Candidates will also have 90 seconds at the end of the debate for a closing statement. By random draw the first question knittings to Katie Mcginty. Miss mcginty few issues arent pennsylvania stirs passions more than the issues have of guns and gun violence and the Second Amendment.
About taxes when we come back. We also want to thank our students who have supplied their questions. And also on social media. We will take a quick break and we will be right back. Jim we are having a good discussion. I hope you feel that as well. As for the candidates, has this been good for you so far . Sen. Toomey sure. Ms. Mcginty i wouldnt have missed it for the world. [laughter] jim i want to ask a quick question of both of you. Im looking for some quick impressions. You dont have to take a full minute. Close to 100 million has been raised for this campaign. Most of that money has gone to Television Ads across the state. It seems that most of those ads have been harsh, bitter attacks against your opponent. So heres my question. When voters hear this bad stuff about each of you for months on end, every time the turn on the television, doesnt that contribute to the general sense of distrust in and distaste for politics and government that we have been hearing so much about recently
