Here are two more candidate interviews--with challengers not incumbents--before the Nov. 4th election. Today, they have been prerecorded, but certainty still give insights not possible with "sound bites" allowed by other media.

Continuing our series of interviews with political candidates in the Nov. 4th election--with challengers rather than incumbents--we will be talking today with Terry Bowman, Republican challenger for the U.S. Congress, 12th district (crazily gerrymandered to run from Ann Arbor through some of Dearborn and on down to Trenton). Note: we are giving candidates for Governor about 30 minutes each and others about 15 minutes--no 10-second sound bites!

WHFR-FM begins the election season with an interview with Mary Buzuma, Libertarian, running for Governor of Michigan. No sound bites here--we'll spend a full 30 minutes exploring her views (unlike how most other media seem to deny the existence of legal candidates). In upcoming weeks before the Nov. 4th election, we'll focus on the challengers not the incumbents, so you can make the best choices with your votes.
