The event also welcomed candidates for Congress in New Jersey, Terri Reese and Tim Alexander. Both candidates answered questions on a range of issues, including education and immigration.
The panel also featured Sean Riggin, Director of Public Safety for the City of Atlantic City, who is currently running for Atlantic County Sheriff. His full interview will appear in the complete presentation.
