I conducted today my interview with Gubernatorial Candidate Bradley Byrne. Below are the 10 questions and answers:

@BradleyByrne Q1: What are the three most important issues facing the state of Alabama?

1. Creating more jobs 2. Bringing ethics reform & accountability to state/local gov't 3. Standing up to AEA & bringing true edu reform to AL (link)

@BradleyByrne Q2: What are the three most important issues facing the Nation?

1. Getting Americans back to work 2. President & Congress who don't understand pressing need to address jobs 3. Spending money we don't have (link)

@BradleyByrne Q3: Is the Economic Recession over for the Nation?

No, so long as we have the number of Americans out of work that we do today, it doesn't matter what economists say, we are in a recession. (link)
