On Thursday, February 21st I had the opportunity to participate in a Candidate Forum sponsored by the Princeton High School Debate Team and the Princeton Chamber of Commerce. Princeton’s debate team, coached by instructor Kyle Brenner, is in The People Speak’s contest, and has a chance to go to New York for the United Nations Foundation.
This was a good, yet brief, opportunity to debate with Joe Jaynes and one of Corbett Howard’s representatives, and respond to questions from the audience and from students in the crowd. The audience was interested in how we County Commissioner candidates would tackle the growth of the area and how we would face the impending water shortages that are certain to plague Collin County.
After the debate, I had a lively conversation with several members of the Debate Team. We discussed everything from local politics and the growth of Princeton to how Collin County could best tackle our green space issues. These teenagers are excellent speakers and were very well informed on the topics of today! I look forward to speaking with the Princeton Debate Team again, as well as other high school groups throughout Collin County!
